Review on DT Swiss Boost Alloy Aluminium by Brian Diaz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

will not work with 2021 specialized stumpjumper with tapered axle bore

good quality product. However, note that this does not work with all 12x148 rear boosters. The specialized Stumpjumper 2021 has a tapered bore at the axle entrance; Therefore, this flat flange thru axle cannot be tightened to the frame. I didn't realize it until I had all sorts of shifting issues. It may look like the axle has been tightened, but when you squeeze the left and right sides together it actually has a little play. Lesson learned. I didn't send it back as I could easily use it on another bike. The picture shows a specialized original axle with a conical design in the head.
