Do you reckon the 32h front wheel will be strong enough?

I got a 36H dynomo hub to complement it..

When he wrote the comment on 32 being necessary in 2008, at that time Rohloff did not make a 36h hub.
This is another example of vintage threads being resurrected years after the comments were written and are no longer valid.
The Rohloff I bought in spring 2013 is also 36h.
