Came across a used wheelset in Red Deer; however, the front hub was not the size I needed, so then I'd have to get the hub replaced and the wheelset built up. So, I'd imagine I'd be in for about $625 easy when the dust settles.

The new hub may require you to get new spokes. If you do need spokes, get from spokeservice. They are cheaper than anyone in town. I've also used chainreaction.

I built a friend 27.5 plus wheels for her fatbike. She uses her fatbike for bikepacking in the summer.
For her bike I couldn't find the right size hubs but I found the same wheels, and stripped them and laced those hubs to raceface arc rims. Then I used the fatbike rims for a different build for somebody else.
