I have my 2021 Levo comp and wish to mullet
I’m selling my hardtail to fund rear wheel purchase, as a trial would fitting the 27.5” boost wheel with SRAM GX cassette work on slx gear train

Is the spacing the same between SRAM & Shimano ?
Would I have to adjust the indexing

They should have basically same spacing, but you might need to reindex derailleur. Also it is better to use Sram chain on Sram cassettes.

Thanks
Stumbled on another issue, with the disc & centrelock, without adaptor it’s a no go…

Any wheel recommendations?
Would I be correct in thinking I need a shimano microspline hub ?

I‘ve found the Crank Brothers Synthesis Alloy E-Bike 27.5" Rear Wheel ? Any good ?

If you want to keep Shimano 12sp cassette then yes, you need a wheel with microspline freehub.
