Im thinking..cost effective hopefully, I have a pair of Hope Hubs Pro 2 Evo of my 26" wheels - if I bought some rims how much would I be looking to get them laced up?
Or would what im suggesting not work because there are more holes?
My lbs charge £45 per wheel including spokes.
Stans Rims £70 each

=£230
There are some deals around at the moment. I got a set of Pro2 Evos / Flow EXs for £307.50 delivered from Freeborn Bikes. They were delivered quickly with no problems. You should get most of your outlay back selling your 26" wheels, ending up with lovely new 650b wheels for very little.
cheaper options than stans out there, check out wtb's offerings
I asked this in Merlin the other day and was quoted around £170, dependant on spokes and rims obviously( I was after mavic 719's).
Prob more cost effective to sell them and buy new 650b wheels.
I've seen a few 26" hope/stans wheels sell for more than I'd expect recently. What 26" rims are you currently sporting?
