Just got a quote from R2-bike on the wheel rebuild with the right hubs from Tune. They built the wheels the first time around, so I thought it will be a good place to start.
The quote was EUR 700. The hubs themselves cost around EUR 450 on the R2-bike website without the rear QR conversion kit. So I guess they charge approx EUR 200-250 for building the wheels including spokes and nipples (not sure what kind though).
I bought the wheels for 1100. Assuming I can sell the hubs for around 250 and including the cost of the wheelbuilding, I would end up with a set of wheels for approx 1550. Not sure yet I am willing to spend that kind of money on just the wheels.
