Oh and tyres

Tyres (Ralphs) are in stock at Ison Distribution - any shop can order from them. They also have spokes in various lengths around 275mm (Halo).
Rims are a bit rare - Justridingalong had a few.
Cheers will look into it
Just Riding Along have more 650b stuff than anyone else in the UK.
edit: just seen that it had already been mentioned.
I have just built a 650b rear, second hand ck hub eBay, stans flow rim from wiggle now discontinued so a bargain 42 quid at the time and dt Swiss comp spokes from crc for something like 26 pounds. Just waiting to build the front before I say what it runs like... Tires I got some panceti 2.1 neo moto half price of eBay as well.
What length spokes did you go for??
Spoke length depends on the hub and rim. 650b seems to be somewhere around the mid-270s. I'd ask a shop to do the building for you as ordering the wrong size is a pain.

Spoke length I use is usually 270-274mm
