On the rear, it’s generally a spacer on DS only, requiring a re-dish and a spacer for rotor.

Damn, I didn't realise this because it comes in 10sp so assumed it would work
I have a 10-42 to try on before he buys anything else.

Ahh. Assumed front for some reason.

You’re correct...his is front...I’m talking of my only experience with boost conversion, which is a rear.

Using a cable cutter on cable ties is the go, IMO. Precisely because I could slip (if using a knife) with the cut, and stab myself in the hand, or worse lol

That looks like a 786 XT. I have the same and run 11-42 but have a One Up Rad cage on it. The arm comes very close to the 42t sprocket but clears it.
Strangely, I tried the same setup on my old Yeti frame and the arm didn’t have enough clearance and the chain would touch that arm as I changed gears.

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.
I hope your ok but that’s pretty funny
Yeh all good. Usual back, hip, elbow scrapes and the bikes fine.

That reminds me a an incident I had as a kid.
My gears were playing up so was riding around my court watching the rear sprocket change gears.
Bam - straight into the back of my neighbours car!

I managed a big face plant OTB into the boot lid of a FK Holden as a kid, no damage to the car it was solid as a brick.

Guilty. Head down, sprinting home, just on dark, late for dinner. Turned into my street through traffic and rode straight into the back of a parked car about a car length from the corner. Bang. Next thing I know i am lying next to the front wheel wrapped up in the bike. Driver was very shaken, apologetic and worried. Had stopped to check the Melways. The shifters on my racer ripped this inside leg of my jeans and my leg. Lucky they didn't get all the way up my leg to my nuts. Ahhh the 80s.

Nice one. When I was a kid, I rode my 16"er into the back of VW Beetle. The front wheel got stuck under the rear bumper and my rear wheel went up endo style. I stuck my tongue out and split it in half on the engine cover/boot. I didn't tell my parents and any food with a bit of salt hurt like hell.
Riding style has improved marginally.

has some good things to say
I broke my arm as a lad trying to check the time on my wrist watch whilst just starting out on a ride on the first day of the summer school holidays. As I lifted my left arm to bring my watch into view (thus making myself ride one handed) my right hand clenched the right grip that little bit harder to keep everything going where it should. Regrettably, that right hand was mostly resting on the brake lever and that was the end of that...front brake on, went straight OTB and into the road. Summer was cancelled...

It seems parked cars were not just a hazard for me lol.

Wow I thought it was just me that rode into the back of a parked car.... same-ish story as you guys, punting along at 25ish, looked down cos shifting was funny, nek minute looked up wondering why I'd come to a sudden stop only to watch a boot lid introduce itself to my nose. Punched the front wheel into the gap between the bottom bracket shell and the chainrings. Oops.
