I've got Dyads on one wheel set; I run 32s on all three rear wheels (multiple bikes). It built up really easily (especially compared to changing spokes on an, experienced?, Sun CR-18). It's lasted a long time, probably 20-30,000 miles.

Ride quality? It rides just as well or poorly as any other rim, IME. Rides like silk on new pavement, kind of bumpy toward the end of winter when spring sprouts potholes all over the streets and roads.
