It is interesting that Velocity OKs them for Tandem usage. When you click on their 'applications' tab and click on Tandem, the Aileron doesn't show up:

Though, it is interesting to note that the A23 shows up on the 'tandem' application page but not the 'Clydesdale' application page. I would think a tandem is almost always higher stress than a single heavier rider? Makes me wonder about the application page. And the Aileron 700c shows up on the Clydesdale page but not the touring page. (only the 26" is listed on touring)
I've never used the Aileron so I can't comment. I have used the Dyad and
DaVinci V-23 (all 26") on our tandem without issue in 36 hole drillings & rim brakes. I typically build all of my wheels 3x with DT Swiss 14/15g double butted spokes. Tires on the tandem are Panaracer RibMo 26 x 1.25. We are a 350lb team but this is road only.
Are you looking for tubeless?
