650C parts are hard to come by, but it's just because most places don't stock them. The distributors usually have stuff in stock.

What rim are you using? The Sun ME14 comes in 650C, and it's a great rim.

What percentage of bikes is 650c? Are you really suprised that people don't stock much 650c stuff?

Check with a shop that specializes in triathlon stuff, they will almost certainly have a selection of 650c stuff.
