I’m aware this is FWP, and I apologize ahead of time.
I ordered a Pivot Switchblade “Brunch Ride” ([https://global.pivotcycles.com/products/switchblade](https://global.pivotcycles.com/products/switchblade)). The SB is a super boost wheel spacing, so my current plan is to get a 9mm conversion kit to make my boost wheels work with my super boost frame.
Alternatively, I could buy a set of We Are One Convergence Triad (also 30 mm, 1900g) which are super boost with the same. They are beefier and might match the all-mountain/enduro-ish/trail bike better.
I’m running the Reserve’s on my XC bike which I’m enjoying.
The question is, should i get the second wheelset, which is on sale for $350 off, for the extra beef & super boost? Will it fit better on the 160/142mm Switchblade?
Edit: The current wheelset set is DT Swiss M1900 w/ DT Swiss 370 hub (ratchet LN), 30mm – 29” 15×110 F/12×157 R

I wouldn’t do a boost to superboost conversion. One of the main benefits of superboost is the really wide flange spacing which makes a strong, symmetrical wheel. If you use spacers you’ll have to dish the wheel waaaaay over, which makes it weaker.
I would get just a nice superboost wheelset and call it a day. But really, your stock wheelset is a great set. If you really want something new, get the WAOs, or stick to the DTs. Or, split the difference and have the DTs rebuilt by a reputable builder (eg: [lacemine29.com](https://lacemine29.com) or some local shop) with your hubs.
But if you really want carbon wheels you’ll do better selling the DTs and buying the WAOs. Just ditch the space-the-boost-wheelset-out idea; it’s not a good plan.
