It has been literally years since I've looked for a quality qr rear hub.
With DT Swiss, boost 141 qr is easy, just the old 135 qr end caps in place of the 148x12 end caps. I have no idea which quality hubs available today are qr end cap compatible still. Another concern is with cheaper (and more expensive) rear hubs, free hub failures aren't uncommon eapecially in the advent of 28x46+t gearing options. So how readily available is the relabelled Formula/Joytec/whatever freehub when the time comes?
So Rocky gets around this with using old school 135mm spacing, good for prospective owners to know.
