Our new Santana tandem has 32H A719s. They are light, and in the almost 1000km we have ridden since taking delivery of the bike in early February, there has been no sign of them going out of true. I weigh around 90kg and Machka around 70kg, which is 300lbs plus that these wheels are toting around. They also have been over gravel as well as potholed asphalt at some speed.

This brief experience, and the fact these rims are eyeletted, has been enough for me to think seriously about changing my own touring rims from Velocity Dyads (uneyeletted) to A719s, and definitely to put the A719s on Machka's new touring bike.
