Another approach to this would be to use Velocity's offset rear rim. Don't skimp on the DS spoke tension. You need the DS spokes to be tight to get reasonable tension in the NDS. I would recommend 120 kgf on the DS.
I have seen other reviews that say the same thing, but after comparing the geometry to the hubs I'm using now, these will be an improvement.
