Front wheel is in great shape but the rear rim is toast. I have a 15mm to 9mm adaptor (made by Chris King $40) if needed. All offers considered. Thanks!

I've had a few e-mails / PMs on this so let me give a bit more background.
Industry 9 hubs take a proprietary aluminum spoke which eliminates the J-bend and the spoke/nipple interface. Instead their spokes thread directly into the hub shell with a larger diameter thread than the main spoke body, The front wheel is ready to ride but in addition to a new rear rim you are going to need new spokes and an understanding of how to lace these bad boys up. With that said, the engagement on that rear hub is arguably the best in the business.
Hope this helps.

OK here is the scoop....
I got in touch with the I9 folks today and they lived up to their reputation of great service I spoke with Jake who informed me he could lace in a wheel in 5 minutes due to fewer parts and less complexity of the system. He stated they could probably re-use nearly all of the spokes (replacements were $6) and a new Stans Flow rim was $85. Cost of the rebuild is just $50. All in for the complete rebuild (assuming 4-5 spokes replaced) is $160 before shipping.
I'm looking to get around $250-$300 and I'm open to offers.
