Hope 'Boost' hubs

[agentninety3]

Simple question - is it possible to convert Hope Pro 2 Evo hubs to 'boost' spacing via caps / axles?

I'm considering a 6fattie purchase and wanted to know if I could use a 29er wheelset with Hope hubs in the same frame / fork.

Nope, new hub time.

There was a thread on this in the wheels & tyres sub-forum....

Edit: oops using Tapatalk and didn't notice this wasn't mtbr.com - was where I referring to above.

"Standards"... sigh.

Might be worth learning how to build a wheel then.

Well there you go. $105 shipped and some re dishing and it's done.
