LooOOOook 464 Dreadnought Tank

This looks like a neat conversion of the hub. I guess it's as per your previously-posted custom-machined axle, but with 5mm spacers instead of 10mm? Also, I'm curious - why a boost hub: for a non-dished wheel?

Edit: somehow I missed the picture of the axle conversion with threaded spacers/end caps. Nice.

why a boost hub

Because it matches the chainline of the road cranks. On handbuilt wheels, either kind of hub works, because you can make the axle conversion move it sideways to suit, but for OTP wheels you can just drop a Boost one in and it's already right. If you look at my tandem you'll see the 100×15 hub has a 15mm NDS spacer and a 5mm DS spacer to achieve the same chainline as a Boost hub. The build conceit on the tandem is "all Shimano", and I don't think they do a 6-bolt Boost hub, they certainly didn't when I built it.

Cheers. Pre-built wheels, of course. Looks very clean.

Do you have a source for the cap screws off-the-shelf or are they also custom?

Doesn't come across in pix how skinny the chinesium bars look in real life. 35.4cm outside to outside for CTT legality
