I have a chance to buy some 28 spoke Zipp rims(new) for a good price. I also have a set of Mavic Helium wheeks with great 28 spoke hubs. Would it be possible to lace the Zipp rims to the Helium hubs? I figure you are going to have to buy new spokes and nipples for the build. Any advice from wheelbuilders would be great.

I don't think you front hub is 28. It should be 26. Otherwise, it should be possible.

the Helium hubs use straight pull spokes, but you can get those. the main problem is that the front hub is indeed 26.
