Title: Shimano Micro Spline Wheels
Post by: chicken123 on August 07, 2019, 10:43:03 PM

Hi,

I'm new to bike building and am planning a casual cross country/light trail bike, using Shimano 1x12. Has anyone found nice carbon wheels that already have Shimano Micro Spline?

If not, could I buy something like this:

And then replace with this?

Thanks!

You can ask the folks at www.lightbicycle.com, they are usually up to date with recent hubs and you may save the conversion kit price.
A conversion kit on existing wheels will be fine too, however check it will come with the right caps(it looks so) if you use boost or not.
