How good or bad an idea is it to swap my hope 25 front hub for this;

The front hub is 24 count but I've ridden cobbles and all road surfaces with no issues I weigh 76kg. Also how much should I expect to pay for a strip and rebuild of the front wheel?

Chances are you’d need new spokes in the build so you’d only be reusing the rim, might as well just have a whole build on a kinlin rim or similar no?

Then have the normal front wheel to switch back in for summer rides

This is my plan. But only going to use the dynamo to charge a pass-through enabled battery pack. I’ll charge usb lights, phone, garmin etc from the pack as required.
