Wolf Tooth’s Boostinator kit enables you to run your existing wheels in Boost-standard frames and forks.
If you’re looking to utilise the benefits of the latest axle standards without changing your existing wheels, then look no further. Boost axle standards, namely 15 x 110mm front and 12 x 148mm rear, give better clearance for beefier tyres and rims and also a reduced dish for stiffer and stronger wheelsets. Taking advantage of the standard normally requires a new wheelset.
Wolf Tooth’s Boostinator enables you to convert 15 x 100mm front and 12 x 142mm rear wheels to be mounted in Boost Standard frame and forks. A simple and inexpensive re-dish of your wheels maintains existing disc and drivetrain positions whilst improving spoke bracing angles. The kit is comprised of premium-grade axle end-caps and rotor spacers that shift your disc and rotors outwards for a perfect Boost metamorphosis.
Compatibility
- Front boostinators are only an endcap and do not require rotor spacer. The wheel is re-dished
- Rear boostinators require both a re-dish and rotor spacer
- Rear Boostinator kits are not approved for rotors larger than 183mm
- Hubs spacing is 100mm front and 142 rear, and the Boostinators make them 110 and 148 respectively
- Compatible with 6-bolt FRONT wheels and SOME centerlock models
- Compatible with ONLY 6-bolt REAR wheels (there is no way to space centerlock rotors over 6mm)
- NOT recommend (or safe) for non-symmetric lacing like the 2:1 lacing found on some of Industry Nine’s wheels
Note: You will need to re-dish your wheel after installing any Boosinator.
