mac1 Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Can any one tell me where in SA to get a spacer kit to adapt a 142 rear hub to a boost 148 hub width? They are available on EBay and in the USA. New bike, old wheel set. Alternative is a new hub and build- a lot more expensive for the new bike.
droo Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Try Evobikes or Rapide. IF you're a big oke or you ride hard I wouldn't recommend though, I've seen a Hope hub destroyed from the extra unsupported load on the axle.

So by putting in adapters, your wheel will essentially be supported on the end of a longer lever than it was originally intended (which is different to what happens when you convert a 135QR to 142TA).
splat Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 If you were to put Boost spacers on, would the wheel need to be redished?
Skinnyone Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 If you were to put Boost spacers on, would the wheel need to be redished?Depends on the adapters used but most commonly used ones you would need to re-dish yes.
BaGearA Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Basically this will just make the wheel fit a Boost frame , you won't get ay of the actual benefits
