It seems there's a new standard, 20x110 Boost which is different from the traditional 20x110 but only because the disc position is 5mm further out to allow flanges to be further apart. Are there adapters - I assume the caliper would need moving for 20x110 Boost on a non-boost fork and vice versa.
In theory you should be able to use the boostinators that are for 15mm hubs bu not use the end caps (just the disc spacer and longer rotor bolts).
I've not heard of this new 110 20mm boost though, just the 15mm Boost which is kind of the norm now.

On DH forks isn't it?
Assume so.
Prob also end up being on a wave of new ofset Fox 36/Lyrik and everyone will have to fork out £1200 to move to the new latest fancy standard (pun intended)
good explainer from stans

Looks like there wasn't anything stopping them using the existing axle/disc spacing and they moved the disc out 5mm just because #standards.
Christ. Can anything stay the same for more than 5 minutes please?
So basically a hub that fits the original 20mm/QR20 without having to space the Caliper in. In short a “new” standard that’s the same as a 20yrar old one.
Yes, but no. I read it that the hub'll fit in the forks ok but the new one won't work in old forks because the disc's sat 5mm further out and you can't (easily) space the caliper in. The old hub will work in new forks with the disc spaced 5mm out to suit the stupid new stupid boost stupid spacing though. ****ing ****ing ****ers. Just leave shit alone.

It’ll be like BITD, when Marzocchi spaced the IS mounts on the Z150 forks 5mm further out, and you had to fit the caliper with spacers......
