WTD 29er plus wheelset or rims

Looking to run 29x3.0 to stop sinking in moorland bogs

Boost, 15mm 110m front, 142 rear HG or microspline

Ideally steel rear axle or convertible with a readily available spare

Or rims as I can do a shoddy build

Ideally not too expensive

Thanks

Prefer a proper boost hub rather than an adapted one and don't need the tyre

But if there isn't much about I'll probably be back

I have used proper boost and adapted ( thousands of miles on each for my winter summer wheel.set ) and you wont be able to tell which is which in use and both work fine.

Just adapted a set for a 500 mile bikepacking trip and had zero issues
Basically the kits work and all.mine are cheapo ebay kits not expensive ones

Edit : not sure if you are worried it wont work (.hence posting and trying to help )but obviously its your money and choice.

I've got a set of bontrager 29+ wheels, full boost (so that's a 148 rear not 142).XD freehub currently fitted. . Cheap as chips as I need the space!!!

Frame is 142 spacing unfortunately

I get the point re the kits working just would prefer a boost as standard as first preference

The hope kit is a bit different as it adds the extra 10mm to the non disc side with a wider end cap. You re dish the wheel away from the disc so you end up with a stronger wheel and don't have to rely on spacing the disc further outboard with longer bolts.
