Yes. My 8 year old Dyad rims are all as good as new. The pointy profile is why. The machined brake tracks are awesome too.
I used WH 2.3/ 2.0 spokes with locking nipples, nothing better.
I month ago I saw a girl with the 3 sp Driggs. I asked her how she like it and said it's a bit slow. LOL.
My new Simcoe came with the Nexus 7i and the stupid roller brakes. So I'll be trying it on the highway in June I guess. The rims it came with were sanded like a piece of lumber. WTF.
