Cheers for the info!
I’ve been thinking - I’ve got a pair of Ultegra 6500 hubs laced to Mavic Open Pro SUP rims sat in the shed with very few miles... as I’m on a budget would I be able to swap hubs over for the r45?Spoke calc says front hubs are near identical - rear spokes are:
R45 - 295.5/294
Ultegra - 297/295.1
Will the 1.5mm difference on the nds cause death and flames if I spend this evening swapping the hubs over? (Then have them tensioned and trued at LBS)
Cheers,
Matt

If the Ultegra/Mavic wheels have been rounded down to 296/294, you may get away with it. If not, I wouldn't reuse them.

Rear hub flange diameters are too different. New spokes should be used. 1.5mm difference is quite a bit and risk is spoke failure at the nipple. The op rim is not stiff and flex combined with spokes that are too short may cause unhappiness.

Kinlin xr22t 22t. The price of the r460 is hard to beat though.
