Having trouble sourcing a wheel for an experiment

[Jasong911]

I’d like to try a 27.5 rear wheel to do a mullet on a Pivot Shuttle AM, but Pivot famously uses superboost spacing in the back. That’s a problem as most wheelsets or singletons in the marketplace either don’t offer a 12x157 option or if they do, the hub is only 6 bolt rotor capable. I could have a wheel built with Chris King(!)($) hubs that are centerlock but damn! Just to try it out? If I had 6 bolt rotors, I could use an adapter but nope.

I don’t even know if I could tell the difference…

Any advice?

Why does it need to be centerlock ?

We run a 157x12 Hope Pro 4 evo on my lads DH bike in a 27.5 but that's 6 bolt. I'd have said you can borrow it to try, but you seem to be US based and we're UK, so that won't fly.

Cant you just buy a 6 bolt disc if you find a wheel .

buy a disk got to be the cheapest option

I think this is probably the way to go. Now I need a source for used superboost wheels and couple of winning lottery tickets. Seems about as likely. Thanks guys!

Or the golden ticket...
