Didn,t know too much about boost untill today. That will be pretty crazy together with Trasher's thought. :)
I use my bike more for adverture/comute/touring. Not into racing or trying to beat my times, but more of exploring and discovering the surounding and seeing new stuff off the beatten path.
@Pifko 130mm QRs are easily available for you at a decent quality? Meaning to be able to deal with the odd pothole or curb with out damaging it completly?

Yeah thats why the 'bike for life' thing is BS. Know someone who got an enigma titanium disc road bike with QR/post mount the year before flat mount/142 thru axles came out. good luck sourcing new (decent) wheels in five years time.
environmentally it's a joke for sure but it's planned obsolescence like any industry. just wait till we see boost axles on road bikes
