Clearly.
OK, so our custom build on trials hubs is about 1250g and £400
Find me all the OTP road clincher wheelsets which are under £400 and under 1350g, taking it as read that the swap could be cost neutral and the road hub is ~100g heavier than the conversion hub.
Now narrow that empty set to only those wheelsets where the rear hub takes J-bend spokes, the same number each side, and a number which can be replaced with a front disc hub.
