Hope wheel upgrade confusion.

nickyhoward55

Hi all,

Need some advice. I want to upgrade the wheels on my Whyte T130 to a set of 650B Hope enduro wheels but I'm a little confused on the sizes.

The chart I'm looking at on Tredz lists the axle width as 148 (boost sizing) which is what I want, also sram XD which is perfect but the info further down says the wheel is supplied with 135mm QR and 142x12 conversions. Would that be ontop of the 148x12 I need for my bike?

Also, Tredz don't list a 110 boost front wheel for some reason, has anyone seen somewhere selling boost sizes with orange hubs?

Thanks in advance.

Are you getting the hope wheels with pro 4 hubs as the front and rear boost axle sizes are listed on hopes website http://www.hopetech.com/product/hope-tech-enduro-pro-4/

If its a set of enduro wheels with pro 2 evo hubs then you might not be able to get them in boost sizes as these are still a great wheel but an older model so Hope might not make them in the new 148, 110 sizes.

It's the pro 4 version I'm looking at.

You need to buy an adapter kit

Maybe hang fire a little as im sure i read somewhere they were bringing out wider profile wheelset if that floats your boat.

I looked into this for mine - trouble with a lot of websites is they just copy and paste generic info from Hope's site and don't always get it right... I think, but may well be wrong, that the Hope boost hubs are proper boost width hubs rather than adaptors to fit standard hubs to boost forks/rear ends. I did however find the following but haven't trashed my Roams yet so haven't bought them...

Just make sure you choose the right freehub.
