This is just one of the side effects of the industry constantly bringing out new 'standards'.
"* could be an excuse for a new bootzipper though...*" is exactly why they do it.
Depends on your budget but I think with Hope hubs the same shell is used for 135,142 and 'boost' 148mm oln widths and its just a case of changing the endcaps (and maybe the axle?).

I've got a Charge Cooker 0 SS 650+. It's been awesome but all I would say is be wary of differing standards when looking at frames. My intention was to swap out the 650+ with narrower tyre'd 29ers for summer riding, but trying to find 29er wheels off the shelf with a 135 OLD has been more difficult that it should be, in my opinion. The bike is only 3-4 yrs old and is essentially obsolete. If I'm simply ignorant of the right places to look please do enlighten me!! could be an excuse for a new bootzipper though...
