I'm looking to purchase a dynamo hub with boost spacing. I plan to run it on my 2025 Yeti ASR on a bike packing trip. It will hook into a Sid fork with boost spacing. Any recommendations? Thanks, everyone!

    I second this. SON all the way! A higher up-front expense relative to other brands, but they are incredibly well-made and have a long track record of reliability. Check out our visit here: https://bikepacking.com/plog/inside-son-dynamo-hubs/

    If I were in your position, I'd be reaching for a SON hub because of its proven reliability. They have a bunch of options, including boost versions: https://nabendynamo.de/en/products/hub-dynamos/for-thru-axles/
