I see that there are a lot of wheel manufacturers here, but I don't see too many carrying 650B gravel. I was able to order from Yuanan but it seems like they're moving away from the retail OEM market - so that's a no go. Ceramic Speed and Tagoola both only carry 700c (it seems). Can anyone point me to a good and tried/ tested manufacturer carrying 650b? On a side note, I actually thought 650b was gaining popularity, so it's weird to see that these companies don't carry even a few options.

I got some from Light Carbon a year ago. They even have a cool, very subtle, hexagonal etching on the rim

Yuanan has stopped selling to people? I bought a pair of 650B in November from them. I'm just about to install them to the bike.
Peter from XM carbon speed has some wheels in that size too. I asked him too about pricing back in November.

It seems like it, and yes, I bought my first wheelset from Yuanan around December as well, delivered January pre-Chinese New Year. After CNY, they seem to have changed their policies towards retail customers and are directing us to buy from EliteWheels instead. It's a price premium, but I guess same quality as the Yuanan unbranded ones. I was in the middle of finalizing my specs when I stopped getting responses from them. When I messaged their WhatsApp, I was redirected to the EliteWheels website.
