130mm Rim Brake Hub with XDR freewheel
Hi Guys,
I am modifying a 700c bike to 650b. Have the Tektro 559s already. Looking for a 130mm rim brake hub with XDR, preferably a cheapish one since I am not sure if I will keep this setup like this or not (it is a just for fun attempt). Alternatively a finished rear wheel in 650b size with 130mm hub for rim brakes and either XDR compatible or able to change the body to XDR. I know DT Swiss 350 is an option. Any others you know out there?
Thanks,
Larin

I took a look at Novatec but they have max 28 holes and most of the 650b rim brake rims have 32-36 so I would need to find a rim to work. So far I have not found a rim with 28.

Thanks for your feedback Dan! I found this website which actually lists all of the ones available: https://thebicyclewizards.com/index..../23/650b-rimz/
Pretty awesome list. I would think with how popular it is to modify old frames (especially steel ones) that something like this would be easier to acquire....think I just discovered a niche market for all the X Bikes builders over at ******.

Bitex makes a surprisingly nice hub that matches your specs. RAR something. 32 or 28 hole, 130 spacing. Whatever freewheel you want. I’m running several of those and would have bought another for my own 650b build now underway, but I wanted to try something different so I’m using Miche 28h hubs with pacenti rims. If they ever arrive.
