[Closed] Non boost hope hubs in a boost frame. Would you?

Yes.

I did on forks until I bought a boost wheel. Why wouldn't you?

Just wondering about flex etc , also will it affect any future warranty issue of the frame

Does the manufacturer explicitly say only use officially produced boost hubs and not an adapted hub - I guess its unlikely.

I personally wouldn't. I'd rather re-build the wheels using Boost hubs and sell on the non-Boost ones while they might still have some value. In engineering terms, I'm sure the adapters work just fine.

Been running adapters in the back of my hardtail for 700miles now, no issues. Would use a non-boost chainring to keep the chainline

may need to re-dish and also space the disc.

Depends. Not deliberately if planning purchases but I might if I had nice non boost wheels and a boost bike to fit them too.  I’d prefer boost hubs if I had the choice though.

The adaptors are fine but it's mostly only worth doing if you have nice posh wheels, in which case, you're kind of spoiling your nice posh wheels with extra gubbinz and bullshit, anyway. But it's not like you lose out on meaningful wheel benefits of boost, because there aren't any.

I do and its fine. Stiffness is not affected - it's only 6mm. I've got the Hope kit which doesn't need re-dishing. It's a waste of money getting rid of a decent set of non-boost wheels.

I ask because I managed to get hold of a set of Fox34 Rthym Grip 130 29” forks for 199 euros. In the hope that further down the road I can buy a SolarisMAX frame or a Sherpa frame if circumstances at home improve so I can get back to the trails

I'm running Hope hubs with Hope adaptors on a front and rear. Front needs a re-dish rear doesn't, got no qualms about using them (they are replacement end caps, not additional spacers) only used because I already had the hubs and wanted torque cap conversion anyway so two birds killed

Think I’ll just build up a wheelset with boost hubs for a boost frame. Cheers all
