It is hard sometimes to discern innovation from simple change. Real
improvement is good. No one gets their chamois in a knot about real
improvement. I used to go through headsets at a rate of one or two a season
until the size went up. If I am forced to give up perfectly functional parts
for something far better, like disc brakes over rim brakes, that's OK. But
this hub crap? I think my asymmetric rims give me what boost purports to do.
Are 29er wheels folding up all over? Is this actually a problem? I'll bet hub
makers like King and DT already have adaptor end caps in boxes to adapt soon
to be extinct hubs to the boost standard. I haven't figured out either why I
would want a so called plus tire.
