No, no hubs are backwards compatible. Since the rotor and cassette mounts are also 3mm spaced out each, just an end cap solution doesn't work to convert between non-boost and boost.
Latest Roval Control SL wheels... possible to convert to non-boost?
Does anyone know if the latest Roval Control SL wheelset, which has Boost spacing of course, is backwards compatible to non-Boost (so 12x142 and 15x100) using different end caps?
Thanks ahead of time for any wisdom...

Thanks - that's what I suspected but thought I'd confirm. Happy New Year...No, no hubs are backwards compatible. Since the rotor and cassette mounts are also 3mm spaced out each, just an end cap solution doesn't work to convert between non-boost and boost.
