Never purchased wheels before so just want to check I’m ordering the right ones if I go down upgrade bike route rather than new bike.
Trek Fuel 29 running Bontrager Comp Line 30.
Been through the specs and ‘think’ I will need 110x15 boost for the front and 148x12 XD for the rear (eagle cassette).
Anyone with wheel knowledge be able to confirm? Thank you.
Guessing the XD means it comes with the hub for my cassette too?
Yep, that's right - 15x110 Boost front, 148x12 Boost rear, and assuming you are GX Eagle or above, it'll be an XD driver you need.
All comes fully taped, fitted up, valves installed etc. Brilliant wheels, I've had mine a year or so now and they've not missed a beat 👍👍
Thank you! Gives me food for thought!
I'll second andym thoughts,I've just today took my new build out too Hansterley forest with the same wheels 29r flav,got to say paired with minions I've never had an easier tubeless experience,both wheels & tyres with sealant inflated within a few minutes for each wheel, normal track pump on first attempt,bought from CRC already set up with valves&tape.Dust caps double up as a valve tool,
Brilliant so far.
Thanks. Sound good so far! Will start looking for tyres next. I’m after some more trail/XC tyres. Using Vittoria Barzo/Mezcal combo at the moment so might just stick with them.
Although will have a look at other options!
Having never changed wheels before... is there a specific tool to remove the driver from the cassette?
