I can't find many MTB specific 130mm rim brake hubs
Is the frame 130mm? Use road hubs, people ride much harder stuff on them than you're likely to do. If it's 135mm, there are not many choices in true discless hubs. Shimano T780 springs to mind, it's XT quality so fine, but it won't take 11-speed road cassettes. 11-speed MTB cassette will work though. There are plenty of 135mm MTB disc hubs, and here Centrelock works to your advantage; it's a shit rotor mounting system, but with no rotor attached it's unobtrusive 🙂

Ha, I wouldn't trust myself... I was looking to use the adjustable V-brakes (like the ones Paul do) to accommodate the 650b.
It's an early 90s MTB frame which I'm (over sentimentally) updating/resurrecting. I can't find many MTB specific 130mm rim brake hubs, but there's a few options for road.
Am I asking for catastrophe if I use road hubs (I'll not be doing anything more than a bit of gravel on it)?
Or should I just get some disc hubs laced to rim-brake rims?
