I thought so too. Definitely the cheapest option I think. If I'd had to replace the spokes to put my dts to new wider rims I would have spent more than $350 on rims and spokes alone.
Rim width?

You are good Poodle!! I was just looking at all the cheap 26" wheels. It's only 1.5". Surely it can't make that much.....

Compact chainstays. Ready for 36" wheels.

I'm usually a nitpicker for small details like making rubber decals line up with valve cores and such. I don't think I've ever gone so far as to actually count, or even take note, of spoke counts between front and rear unless it was something I was actively purchasing. Party foul on the mismatched wheels though, at least get a pair of HopeTechs and be matchy!

I would have tried to find some cheap rims and spokes.
Beginning of this year this I built a complete set of 26" 30mm internal for just over $400 for my DJ bike.
Stan's Flow M3 Rims from Hi Bike 145 euro delivered about $214 Au
Spokes Dt swiss comp silver from bike24 54 euro delivered about $80 au
Got some new old stock Dabomb hubs from flee bay with a steel rear freehub & front hub 15mm or QR for just over a $100 delivered.
I ended up getting some adaptors for $10 to suit a 20mm axle for the front.
I had to wait for a month to get the rims because they were pre ordered from the manufacturer.
It's labour intensive to complete a quality job on a wheelset but it's a labour of love and you can say "I assembled these".
Everything is easy in hind sight, you know how it goes. :behindsofa:

Great to hear you're still enjoying the wheels!!I'm also running some EX471s in 29er guise. I'm probably 95kgs and like to smash through s$@t. I've found them solid and far less dent and scratch prone than the Stans Flows I was running previously. They were hand built. I'd only change to get the same thing but wider

Just replaced the original 23mm internal hoops for CRC customs. Mavic EN627's laced to Hope EVPro 4's.
27mm internal width and lost 100 & 150g, and now able to run the Maxxis Agressors 10psi lower without rolling the tyre. Best mod I have done and only $589

Sweet. I'll be 28/27mm. I'll be happy with a few PSI difference. It's stiffness at those lower PSI I'm hoping for...
