we can all buy cheap Mavic Boost front wheels for conversion
Boost is for use with the outer ring position on road cranks, for track cranks you want regular 100×15 wheels.
For a plug-and-play 15mm conversion kit to cover 100 and 110 hubs in 120 or 130 frames, with a "shift the hub sideways" option on the 100 to allow for road cranks, it would need a kit containing two reducer bushings, lock nuts and and a stack of spacers to assemble onto the Velosolo straight M10×1.0 axle and ordinary track nuts. Since the reducer bushings are the only special part, this seems like something Velosolo should be doing, not me. Nobody in his right mind is going to want to pay for the kind of #tartmode conversion I did for my 464.
For my next trick, I'll be converting a hub for my T3 where the shop sales literature specifically says " Quick-Release only. These are not convertible to Thru-axle" 🙂
EDIT: @BobsHaeroIT is already pretty close to the same solution. It looks like it's intended only to do 100 to 120 for track chainline, although it would obviously also do Boost110 to 130 for road chainline since it just adds 10mm per side and leaves the hub in the middle

@mdcc_tester please make adapters available for the masses, so we can all buy cheap Mavic Boost front wheels for conversion. Don't forget to make a 130mm version.
