If you have a non-boost wheelset with a new Boost fork, don’t despair just yet. Depending on the hub, there are a few companies now that may have an answer. One of those companies is MRP after introducing their Better Boost adapter kits. Still limited to front hubs only, the kits allow you to simply convert your hubs to Boost spacing without needing to redish your wheel. And now, that extends to Torch front hubs from Industry Nine as well…
It’s important to point out that with all of the MRP Better Boost kits, they are only compatible with 6 bolt hubs, not Centerlock. Using a spacer for the rotor and extra long rotor bolts, that allows MRP to use two axle end caps to make up the 10mm difference between Boost and non-Boost for a dishless conversion. The latest kit is compatible with Industry Nine Torch 6 bolt hubs from 2013 to the present. That adds to the current line up of DT Swiss 240 and 350 hubs, and Stan’s 3.30 and Neo hubs, each with their own specific kit. The kits sell for $44.95-$49.95, but for a limited time you can get one free with the purchase of an MRP Ribbon fork and the code ‘GOBOOST17’.
