I recently got a pretty good deal on the following version of Specialized Rockhopper Elite. https://www.specialized.com/us/en/rockhopper-elite-29/p/199624?color=319752-199624 (What I believe to be the relevant specs are included in the post below)

It seems, however, that the tires are incompatible with the trainers I thought I'd use them with. So, I want to put together a 27.5" wheel with a tire that is not more than 2" wide as a plug and play swap for the wheel/hub/tire… that came with the bike. Of course, I'd like to put a slick on it too because they will be better with a trainer anyway.

I was thinking I would just put together the parts, but I am having a hard time finding some of them–especially this "Shimano FH-RM35 Rear Hub, QR x 135mm, 32H, 8-10sp Cass, Center Lock, Black" Can somebody help me with compatibility? Or suggest a product that already exists?

Rear Derailleur: Shimano Deore, Shadow Plus, GS cage, 10-speed

Cassette SunRace, 11-42t, 10-speed

Rims: Specialized Alloy, hookless, Tubeless ready, 25mm inner width

Rear Hub: Shimano FH-RM35, Center Lockā„¢ disc, 9x135mm spacing, quick-release, 32h

Rear Brake: Shimano BR-MT200, hydraulic disc, 160mm

*EDIT: Would this do the trick?

Sun Ringle 27.5-inch MTX33 10×135 QR REAR HG Type Disc Wheel
