I cracked one of my rims so I'm using it as an excuse to finally get a Boost wheelset. If it weren't for that I'd still run the adapters.
Thanks, yep the problems solver adapter use one 6mm shim and states you need to re-dish the wheel. I think I'm going to try one of the adaptors with two 3mm spacers and see how that goes. Thanks again
