36 hole, 135, disc rear hub to mate with a front SON28, Velocity Atlas rims.

Also, my builder wants to tie and solder. Opinions?

Thanks,

Either would work. As I pointed out above, both have their advantages.

Don't tie and solder, there's no need. If you use a spoke with a 2.3mm spoke you get a similar effect with a more durable head.
