Al...Can you still run a 73mm BB with super boost? <br /><br />Also, I personally don't see road switching to a wider Q factor any time soon. Road is still largely dictated by what the pros are using, and even for allroadenduroneuring adventure bikes you can run over a 2 inch tire with road cranks.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12060470343796205833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-10685288871520637842018-02-23T17:34:07.969-05:002018-02-23T17:34:07.969-05:00@phillip Cowan- Well, part of that can be explaine...@phillip Cowan- Well, part of that can be explained by the move to through axles, which made a QR 135 a through axle 142. Basically nothing changed but the axle/connection method. Boost 148 and Boost 110, (for the front) was done in an effort to allow for shorter chain stays on 29"ers, better wheel strength for 29"ers, and afterward a way to get 27.5+ tires in the mix.<br /><br />Should they just have went with Super Boost after through axle 142? <br /><br />Probably, but that's only for long travel mtbs. XC 29 and 27.5 will likely never go to Super Boost.

If 157 Super Boost is the cat's pajamas and it's where we all need to be, then why didn't we just go straight from 135mm to 157mm. Why did we tarry along smelling the roses at intermediate points like 142 and 148. Did the manufacturers need a few years to sell more soon to be obsolete hubs? Sorry to sound like a bitter old man but all this pseudo innovation is making me a bitter old man.
