Hi hi, so I just need a 27.5 / 650b rear wheel. In standard 12mm x 142mm thru axle. Nowt fancy, just for a muck about.
Thanks

I've got an old Whyte MTB wheelset with XD freehub, but you'd need to source end caps to turn it from 148 to 142. Let me know if that's of interest

Hi Tim, thanks for this. Let me see if the end caps are readily available. (So that is a boost to non-boost conversion??) I have promised myself that I’m not going to accrue more stuff that needs work, to work. I have a lot of that!

Oh wait, yes, the rotor will be in the wrong place too. Ignore me!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
