I'm going to apologize right now for all the posts and pictures from me today. My wife and I are sitting out severe thunder storms and rain while on a tour. I'm bored silly,but I have managed to figure out how to download pictures from Photobucket to posts on this site using my phone.

Back on topic. You might consider Velocity Dyad rims. They have a good reputation. I've used them for several thousand miles of touring with reasonable loads, and have not had any problems.

Rims with spoke hole eylets seem to have problems with cracks.

Mavic rim.
