Thanks. It's hard to know much about a hub after only 1,000 miles, but the freewheel hasn't failed on a tandem, so that's a good sign.
A quick search shows there's now only 3 rims sold in 40h (other than NOS): Dyad (700), Aeroheat (26) and Rhyno Lite (700). A WM hub and RL riim with SG spokes could be built for <$80.
