For 35/ 38 mm there is only ONE good choice. Velocity Dyad. It's all I have now on 3 IGH bikes. Eyelets are a STUPID abomination.
The first one I built in 2012 with a SA XL-FDD has 28,000+ miles on 3 bikes and 2 tours. I used 2.3/ 2.0 Wheelsmith spokes, still looks like new.
Is 38mm a "reach" on those rims? I'm fine having that as an upper limit on these rims but should a hardcase 38mm be ok to mount?
