    But a 135 QR 29er wheel isn’t that special, so finding one that wasn’t either a junk hub or $600 hub shouldn’t have been an issue. Even finding TA non boost wheels is becoming difficult.

    I ended up finding a lightly used Nukeproof wheel for around $100.

    Thankfully the fork on that same bike is just using off the shelf SRAM parts.
