Want to build some 650b wheels with hubs that only come in 36h.

With or without braking surface?
Clincher / tubeless / tubular?

There are quite a few 27.5" / 650B rims on eBay.

Also SJS at £22 a pop - https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/rims-tape/westwood-26-x-1-12-inch-584-rim-chrome-36-hole/

I built this wheelset last year around (black /32h) wide 650B rims and I still haven't ridden / sold it.

@Vince excellent points ta very much, I'll amend.
I think it's fairly small market now 36H 650B rims.
I'm gonna build a set SA drums wheels and the SA hubs only come in 36H, so dont need braking surface but rims need to be wide enough to run 44mm(ish) tyres.
I spotted those Westwood rims, they're a bit too old for me being chrome and proably not suited to moden tyres(???) prefer a retro "style" rim without the expense of VO Diagonale etc.

Cheers

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
