Bikes: 2013 Custom SA5w / Rohloff Tourster

My Dyad rims are only 480g I think. The front one has 25,000 miles with a SA dyno drum, with locking nipples and 2.3/ 2.0 WH spokes. I way over tightened them at first, then backed off the tension. The bike and me is 243 lbs on a light day and 300 on tour. ZERO problems and looks like new.
The back wheel has a Rohloff with 16,000 miles too.
Blaming tensioning for all these many FAILURES is laughable. Eyelets do NOTHING but cause trouble with a POOR design and corrosion between dissimilar metals.
