		prmoustache on Sept 1, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: VanMoof acquired by e-mobility company Lavoie If you buy wheels with DT Swiss or Hope wheels you can usually swap the end caps to fit different standards. I am using almost exclusively DT Swiss 350 hubs and some of my wheels have been in use with quick axle, 15x100 and 12x100 frames. I even converted some 12x142 wheels to 12x148 (boost) mountain bike standard with the Boostinator kit from Wolftooth components.

Same for Industry Nine and a couple of others. But you really have to re-dish the wheel if you're going from 142 to superboost or 157.

True. I am used to wheel building so it was no big deal to me.

DT Swiss is what I ended up buying, though they were already the setup I needed.
