Need a frame asp for bike packing duties and got all the bits to swop over but strangely the rear end is 141 wtf!! will a 142 fit and has anyone done it?

No. 141 is boost but with qr instead of bolt through. A 142 with qr would be 135.
Looks like that frames out then 🙁
141mm is QR Boost. 142mm won't work because the disc won't align with the caliper and it won't have QR ends
A Hope boost hub with QR end caps will fit the Sonder frame. Also, converting a 142mm hub to fit normal thru-axle Boost (148mm) is possible. So if your hubs can be converted you can use a frame with thru-axle boost
Thought new wheels with qr were pretty obsolete these days
Marin used the same standard:

Friend who had one ended up getting a different frame because the original wheels gave up and he couldn't source replacements.
Trek are using that Boost 141 hub too. Wheels must be getting more common?
A 148mm Hope Boost hub but fitted with QR adapters might work (theoretically, not tried it)
Yep 141 is just a boost 148 with QR adaptors, so Hope or DT swiss with the right adaptors would work fine. There is probably a cheap Novatech on Aliexpress that would do the trick.
What about the extended 9mm QR levers?
So could I adapt my hope 142 pro4 bolt thru hubs to fit?
I do have a rim I could build up so which 141 hubs would one recommend

I don't think so. The flanges on the Boost hubs are wider apart.
If buying a new hub - and you like Hope - just confirm with them that the 148 Boost hub and QR adapter option actually works.
wanna buy a 16'' surly troll ?
complete bike in good nick

This is the reply I had from Rob at Alpkit when asking about that
Any modular type hubs that allow for QR endcaps to be fitted will work. 141mm 'boost' QR should work with any boost hub with QR endcaps fitted.
Hope are a good example but quite a few manufacturers use this modular style now
You will also need a longer qr skewer which Alpkit sell too.
