The Velocity Dyad is a very nice rim. I have them in 36 holes on my second wheelset for rough road riding. That is now my primary wheelset with the Alexrims A23 now being the secondary. The builder said I could have easily gone to 32 holes, but said the 36 was a good choice for my uses. I also had Velocity Veloplugs (red) installed. The Veloplugs make tire mounting so easy that I only need levers for the initial install. YES, no more rim tape! I do not feel any weight increase, but these wheels have butted spokes and the Alex A23 OEM wheels had straight guage.
I got mine in silver with machined side walls and use cantilever brakes. The maker/model name decals were a bit large, but they came right off. Two years now and still good and still perfectly true..
