I'm surprised this old thread is still kicking around. I like the further input, though. I ended up building my rear wheel with a Dyad rim. I've built that wheel up three times now, owing to my having an awkwardly sized hub and having made some bad build choices. The first build was 2-cross with a Nuvinci hub. The Nuvinci is large and they don't recommend a 2-cross on anything but a 700c wheel, and then only if the rim has an interior diameter large enough to avoid a bad spoke angle. The Dyad, while not as deep as the V's, has enough depth that the 2-cross stressed the spokes at the rim. The rim also looked like it was stressed at the spoke holes, which concerned me, but ultimately it was the spokes that gave, rather than the rim, so I guess the rim is strong enough. When I rebuilt the rim with a 1-cross pattern, it was much better, at least as far as the rims were concerned. My spokes broke at the hub instead. My third build, using a 1X pattern and Wheelsmith spokes, has been strong and trouble-free since I put it together in August. I hope this build continues to last, but when it's replaced, I probably will try another type of rim. Partly this is because of my large hub. A rim with a larger ERD could be built with a 2x pattern, which would make me feel better (although in all reality a 1X is probably plenty strong given the relatively shorter spoke lengths). Also I will probably go with something with eyelets. The stress I was seeing at the rim bothers me even though I know that it was, in part, due to a bad spoke angle, I don't think the spokes were excessively tightened, so I'm concerned about the strength at the spoke holes, and I feel like an eyeletted rim might distribute the stress of tightened spokes more evenly. Also, and this is probably because I'm a novice wheel builder, I lost many spoke heads in between the double walls of the rim and spent way too much of my build time fishing them out.
So I like the Dyad well enough to keep rolling on it, but I will probably avoid them in the future, especially if I'm building the wheel myself.
For the front tire, I just got a pre-built, Handspun wheel with a Salsa Delgado Cross rim and a Shimano generator hub. For my own build, I probably would not have considered the Salsa, but, other than it being out of tru when I got it, the wheel has held up well for the whole two weeks I've been using it. For now, while I am not set up to carry much weight on the front of the bike, I'm not concerned about the Salsa Delgado, but if I were doing my own build, I would probably go with something else, and if I get the Old Man Mountain front rack I have my eye on, I may consider replacing that wheel rather than waiting to see if it can handle a larger load.
