IGH wheels are far stronger and so are Dutch bikes. Look for a steel city bike with a Nexus 7i. That's what my latest roadster has. I have NO problem going 100 miles with any of my heavy IGH bikes. I did change the front hub to a SA XL-FDD dyno drum brake.
I'm not heavy, but my 120 lbs loaded tour bike is, 290 to 300 lbs total. It has a 32h Rohloff14.
And IMO, rim eyelets are a useless gimmic. My wheels all have Velocity Dyad rims, 35 and 38 mm. One has 28,000 heavy miles and looks as good as new.
