I’m looking for a hub which I can run in either a rigid non boost fork or a boost sus fork .
I’m aware of the eBay kits with spacers , but I’m wondering if any hubs are available with the qr and boost end caps as an option to save the faff of spacers if you need to take the wheel off on the trail.
I know I’ll have to space the disc as well , but I’d probably only do it once or twice a year.

Those Mrp better boost adaptors look just the thing, why is it the thing is always 4-5 times more expensive !!! 🙂
Might have to go with eBay cheapos and Hope I don’t need to take the wheel out to often !
I wonder if I could tack the spacers on somehow so they aren’t loose .....

Id just go Hope with the adaptors that fit in both sides and the disc spacers.

I’ve played with Boost adapters and I’d view them as a temporary arrangement while I sorted things out rather than a long term plan.  On that basis, I’d buy the cheapest possible if I was doing it

In my view there’s no point having the pain of Boost spacing in a frame if you aren’t going to take advantage of the better spoke angles and stronger wheel, too.
