The calliper mount is on the frame, it'll move out too
Squeezing boost onto non boost frame

Don’t know. Not being a boost man, I can’t say. May HELP....I’m not sure where the mounts sit exactly with a boost hub squeezed in.

Yes, but there’s a few things in play if you run Boost hub in non boost frame, but shaved down to non boost spacing. Can see it all headed to the confessions thread at some stage.

I have seen some of your handywork before, I no longer own that frame!

Ive done this before in a 2016 reign (pre boost), fitted a boost hub. It measured about 144mm, it would compress to 142 with a normal hub, but i just flexed it to fix the 148.
Boost hubs and non boost hubs have the same endcap to brake mount (and endcap to freehub) measurement. You're brake and cassette should be exactly the same as non boost.

This. Don't modify the end caps if you can avoid it.

If you're talking about that wheel, that's the one that gave me the idea, some random Facebook buy. Your/my/canarys/your frame was just matching the frame I had to the wheel I had

Fair enough. Not knowing how boost works I thought it was worth asking.
Does work fine in 142-135 but the extra 7mm is in the indentations in the frame for the hub so cutting it back isn't an issue. The 135x12 setup doesn't have a cutout so the wheel just floats around till you stick an axle through.

Don't even think about it! The extra 6mm of a boost hub is added in the centre (see the pic in the third post), not on the ends, so if you try to correct by shaving down the ends, you"ll fuck up the brake & cassette alignment & clearance.
Most frames are sprung slightly wider than their designed axle width to help getting the wheel in, so you're not really stretching it the full 6mm anyway.

WTF is 142+???

What really? Something you don't know? My whole world is crashing down.
For a brief period between 142 and 148 Specialized and Roval decided 142+ was a thing - If you had a 142+ frame you could use 142 but you were not supposed to use 142+ in a 142 frame.

Fucking Specialized.....!
Based on that diagram, and frame spacing tolerance considered, yes it could be possible. Normal 142 and 148 are roughly the same from flanges outward, with some minor variation between brands. 142+ shunts the cassette outward, which affects frame clearance, hence the limited compatibility.

It will be DT swiss internals and they are really good hubs - But I want microspline for mine so getting a hope 142 and going to use that.
I’d love to pick up an extra Roval SCS disc rear hub for my roadie ... Fucking Specialized.....!

I had one of these wheelset once....came with a bundle of stuff. I had to run an additional 2mm washer on the DS to give clearance for cassette. Quickly sold them to some sap on here.
