Building an older DH frame (2009 Transition Blindside) on a budget and I can't find a rear wheel that'll fit. Should I just find a cheap used wheelset and rebuild with the right hub if I can find one? Or is there a way to make a 142x12 work? Options?

Dt, Hadley, King, Ns, Onyx, Profile racing, sun ringle... In no particular order

Yeah I know but everything I find is either out of stock or stupid expensive. I was hoping to find something used because I'm on a tight budget to get this build rideable quick. And I still have to buy a DC fork and good brakes

Hope Pro 2 (evo or non-evo) should be easy to find and adapt to 12X135. Plus, it'll give you the option of keeping the hub if/when you'll change your frameset.

I might actually have a Hadley. Pretty sure it's 12x135. Has a bolt broke off in one of the rotor mounting holes, but fine other than that AFAIK. Got it from a buddy but haven't used it. You can have it if you want it.

If he doesn't want that I'd be happy to take that off your hands. I have this terrible feeling the rear wheel on my bike has a countdown to impending doom and the counter is pretty low...
