Incorrect information by a seller on e-bay led me to purchase a boost wheel set that I was supposed to use as the trail wheels on my El Mariachi build. The El Mar frame is non boost but when I tested the rear wheel on the frame it went in with very little persuasion (other than the axle being barely threading on the driving side). I was wondering if it would be safe to use the boost wheelset on the El Mar frame given it's steel and hence quite flexible, as it didn't seem to screw up think (visibly). Cassette and disc brake would line up as their position is determined by the end caps (and since the hubs are DT Swiss 350 the end caps are the same for boost and non boost). Obviously I would need a new axle to secure things.
Just boost curious (I know @jimvreeland , I'm so 2014 peasant..). If that were the case I would have to be on the market for another carbon fiber firestarter, this time in boost size...probably more expensive than a good set of non boos wheels!
