Anyone know of an alternative to the Boostinator for a rear DT Swiss hub (350 i think, E 1650 wheels)? I've used a cheap one that has a spacer either side while I was building a new bike up for my son, but don't want to use on like that full time as I don't think it helps the gears.

I'm happy re-dishing the wheel so want a proper conversion really, but I don't think DT do after market conversion kits do they?

If you really want it done properly  then contact the UK service centre and see if they can put a new hub shell and axle on there for you.

Then you'll have a 'proper' Boost hub rather than a bodge.

Why not a boostinator?

I have used one, was easy to redish and the spacer fits nicely

Why not a boostinator?

Just because its £50. Just wondering if there was anything cheaper but better than the proper cheapo kits.

Didn't want to change the hub as it's a nice silver one and matches the front!!.....

Cheers @nixie, just ordered one of those fun-works kits. 40euros with delivery.

Maybe too late for the OP but found this on eBay:

Much cheaper than £50!
