Are 27.5 and 650b the same?
Thanks,
Yes they are - just like a 29" and a 700c road wheel is the same. Well, same diameter (Road hubs and widths and axles can be a lot different than mountain - Gravel can sometimes go either way, or be in the middle).
You have a good reason for looking for a 26" wheel (although 27.5 might give you more selection).
