Boost 27.5 rear wheel 148 hub spacing for trail bike

[Oz Von Toco]

Hey,

So the hub died on my 2020 Giant Trance and the shop told me it's pretty hard to get wheels right now. I'm looking for a rear wheel with appropriate width (~30mm internal) to support a 2.4/2.5 tire. Am willing to drive to you and pay $$!!!! please message me if you have anything that might fit the bill!

What kind of hub is this? It does look like the right spacing but I don't know how to tell if it has the right driver, but if a decent hub I would be interested because then I just need to source a rim and spokes which shouldn't be too hard.

I'm pretty sure XD drive isn't compatible with an SX eagle cassette (please correct me if I'm wrong because I mix up technical jargon). However, if price is good it might be cost effective to buy a gx cassette and convert, not sure if there are other things I need to consider for that conversion?

It is not, but the move to a GX cassette is a worthwhile move for sure.

It’s a SRAM MTH 746 12x148 spacing XD driver. $30 near Hartshorne
