Can these wheels be made to fit?

RossoCorso34

I have a Norco Fluid 7.1 2015 which runs a regular QR rear hub 135mm x 10mm QR spacing and 120mm x 15mm up front. I have been offered some wheels that are 15mm non-boost at the front, and at the rear 142x12.

I'm not sure if they can be made to fit, so I thought I'd ask here

Depends what wheels as to whether different end caps are available for the hubs to convert them.

And are you sure your front hub is 120mm wide? Normal non boost spacing is 100mm and boost is 110mm wise on the front.

Googling your bike I think you’re getting confused with the 120mm travel of the fork. I’d say it’s probably 100mm wide/ non boost with a 15mm bolt through hub. So the front wheel you’ve been offered should fit.

The back one you’ll need to check if adapters for 9mm qr are available for the hub.

I got those dimensions from Norco themselves. That's what they told me it has.

Front should be 15 x 100 or 110 (boost) so should fit.

I'm pretty sure there are qr axles adapters for converting.

The Norco website states the fork is 120mm x 15mm.

That will be 120mm travel and 15mm thru-axle.

No mention of boost so I'd say it's a 100mm width front hub. The front wheel you have been offered will therefore fit. Fitting the rear depends on whether or not you can change the drop outs to accept 142x12 or the hub has interchangeable end caps to let you convert it to 135mm.

Is this the link you were looking at?

The rear hub is a Chris King, and it seems that you can get a replacement axle for them. So are the hubs a standard size, and then the axle determines the width, or is it more complex than that?

If they are Chris King hubs and in good condition you are better off selling them and buying a new set of wheels with the correct hub spacings for your frame unless you really want CK hubs.
For reference a new CK rear hub is about £400.

For 142x12 the main body of the hub is the same as 135x10 from most manufacturers.
