In my case I recognized the joytech hubs were crappy and I also wanted to build a dynohub wheel. Unfortunately the Alex 500 OEM rim was not available in the consumer market so I did a set of 3 based on the Mavic CXP 33 rim. (Non Genhub front based on Shimano 600/ultegra, a Dynohub front based on a 3N71 Dyno, and an Utlegra 8speed rear.). I then sold off the original wheelset..
