Dyad is a very good rim. I'm 250lbs (plus load), commuting on Dyad 32H 3x on 105 hubs, never had any problems. 36H, properly built and tensioned, should indeed be bulletproof. If you haven't already seen it, here's Peter White's page on Velocity Rims.

BTW when I got my wheels built, I paid a little extra to get the reflective finish Dyad, IMO it was not worth it, the reflectivity is very faint, almost nothing compared to the reflective stripes on my tire sidewalls. So just get silver or black.
