If they hadn't accomodated the 650b front wheel so nicely they would have been up for grabs.

Been using this quite a bit recently.
Picked up a lovely pair of Mavic Elite XA 27.5 Boost wheels for it surprisingly cheaply. Bit of tweakage and they are in, front runs a smidge off centre.
Lighter than the old tubeless wheels even with tubes in as i didnt have any sealant left.
Anybody know where i can get a shimano freehub for it from?

Boost? Owzat work then? What's frame spacing?

100/135.
Adaptors off the interweb and a couple of small washer type spacers to get them in and discs on correct alignment then redish the wheels to centralise the rims.
It only happened as i saw the wheels advertised really cheap and I like a challenge

Great you still ride this

Never found anything else more comfy and it's perfect for my short 'straight out the front door local loop' which is flat ish.
