    Fat Fork / Better Boost Brake Adapter

    Like that one there – do they exist at all in Europe? I’ve got one of those nice cheap Ragley frames that I’m re-framing my Scandal with. I’ve got nice new(ish) boost-flavoured forks. I’ve got a perfectly serviceable non-boost front wheel with centrelock discs. I’ve got a centrelock to six bolt adapter, and a boost adapter so the wheel sits in the forks. The centrelock adapter doesn’t want to play with the boost disc adapter, and I’m not mad keen on slotting my front caliper’s mounting holes. Other than buying another front wheel, is there a solution that’s so obvious that I can’t see it?

    CL to 6 bolt adapter and then a 6 bolt boost adapter on that?

    STANDARD TO BOOST THRU AXLE HUB ADAPTERS

    One of those, the 6 bolt ring? Sound like you’ve already got the axle spacers

    @nixie – Perfect, thank you!


    @andrewh
    – yeah, got centrelock to six bolt and non-boost to boost adapters already, but the way they work means that the pins holding the discs in place don’t actually hold them in place when combined together. A photo would help here, I know.

    Do you mean you have a normal centre lock to 6 bolt adapter and you’re trying to use a 6 bolt disc spacer with that?

    You can get extended centrelock to 6 bolt designed to position the rotor in the right postcode for boost forks, along with the 5mm axle spacers.

    Yeah. Doesn’t work. The spider needs longer legs, and the centrelock lock needs to be longer as well. It’s cool, though. I’ve got a combined non-boost to boost and centrelock to six bolt adapter coming now.

    Assuming your boost kit came with 2x 5mm spacers, just put them both on the non-disk side and re-dish the wheel 5mm?  The net result will be stronger anyway as it would be more symmetrical.

    I agree with @thisisnotaspoon.

    Or, get someone with a lathe to machine you a new end cap, 10mm longer for the non-disc side. Then you can’t drop a stupid spacer when fixing a puncture & not be able to find it again.

    Boost centrelock adapters.

    Thanks, I thought Alz was suggesting there was a center lock adapter that allowed a 6 bolt rotor to be bolted into the adapter. .oat of what I’ve seen has “studs” to locate the 6 holes but rely on the center lock ring as the primary rotor fixing

    What is like, is a self secured centerlock carrier that then takes rotor bolts. That way I could add 6 bolt shim plates behind the rotor.

    Problem solvers used to do an adapter that cinched itself onto the splines then allowed 6 bolts into it. Discontinued though as perhaps the cinch design allowed into drift off the splines?

    I think you could get away with 1 or 2 thin shims on a peg design (assuming you are trying to get 2 wheels too swap nicely). Or a thin shim on the splines.
