Disk hub compatibility question
The bike I recently ordered (05 SX Trail) lists the rear hub spec as "Specialized Stout 36h, bolt-on axle." I am working on building a new wheelset for my other bike (04 Enduro Pro) with the goal being wheelset interchangeability between the two bikes.
I have no experience with any type of rear axle other than standard QR. Is there a rear hub that will fill the bill and work for both bikes?
TIA.

That hub/wheel will work on either bike. What they've done is replace the quick release hollow axle with a solid threaded one that has nuts on it.
Spacing should still be the same (135mm).
You'll just have to carry a box end wrench with you now.
Or, you could get the shop to swap it back out for a hollow QR one. Personally I like the added strength of the bolted solid axle.
