For all who want it uncomplicated. You want to retrofit?
Sure thing. Thanks to the
17mm axle system, you can quickly convert them to the desired axle standards. Stability and strength is assured, because the
hub body is made of “aviation” aluminium. This type of material has been used successfully in aviation for years and convinces with its high strength.
The
Kong Boost differs a lot from the normal Kong with 142mm width.
The new Boost standard offers wider hub bodies and axles. The flange distance is increased for this hub. Thereby stiffer wheelsets can be build, especially noticeable for 29er. One point of critics for bigger wheels was the poor stiffness. With the larger hub spacing of the Boost standard it is possible to realize 29er wheels that are on one level with 26 inch wheels!
