The big bummer? Taking full advantage requires not only a new frame and fork, but new wheels as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn response, we have developed the Boostinator. When paired with compatible 15x100mm or 12x142mm hubs, Boostinator kits allow existing wheels to be mounted in Boost-standard frames and forks. Disc and drivetrain positions are maintained and, thanks to a quick re-dish, spoke bracing angles are improved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoostinator kits consist of a specially-designed axle end cap and—in the case of rear kits—a precision-machined rotor spacer with a set of six high-strength bolts. In keeping with Boost specifications, the disc and cassette are shifted outboard, allowing brakes and derailleurs to function as designed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style='\"color:'\u003eCOMPATIBILITY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecific model compatibility listed below under the “Models” section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront boostinators are only an endcap and do not require rotor spacer.
