Race wheels for lefty
 
I did a search and only found posts from 5-6 years ago. What new race wheels do they have out for the lefty? I know of Stan's, mavic, and dt Swiss. Off the top of your guys minds do you know of any others that make wheels for a lefty?

There are several high-end Lefty hubs, which could then be laced to any rim you want. For many racers with the budget, that means Enve but there are a few other options as well. If this is going on your 2009 Scalpel and it's a 26" bike, you better get on this quick as high-end 26" XC parts are definitely on the endangered species list.

Although you might also just buy used. You'd want to be very cautious about that, and inspect the rim / wheel carefully before mounting a tire, and of course be sure that you have options to return it.

You can add Hope to the list of hubs.

For 26" parts becoming hard to find, think your being overly concerned there, the battle for the 3 wheel sizes is far from over, 29er's could be on there way out after 26" if 650b takes off, regardless, apart from rims / spokes / tires, there are no major difference between the hardware used between any of the wheel sizes, anything that can be used on 29er/650b, can be used on a 26".
