What should I use for rims? I am thinking 700c, so I have looked at zac19s, sun cr18(Is 40 hole available?), velocity might have something also. I am also looking at rigita superchromix 27 inch, but I already have a have set of ea1 wheels.
I would appreciate any input.

Most tandem bikes use 40h wheels, find a tandem specialty shop, there should be a fairly decent array or rims available.
I just laced a pair of newer Weinmann rims up for a buddy. He plans to run 35-700c tires on them on a 2000 something tandem.
Not sure of the model of rim, he had stripped off all the labels and polished them to a mirror finish before bringing them to me.
