Spoke back when spoke to a guy wanting 36 rear... who found a decent 18H then had it drilled out to 36. Have no idea the brand used..doable I guess but a stretch. I run several Powerway hubs w/o nary an issue. Very light.. yet lacking the boutique name and price tag. In correspondence I was told a 36 could be drilled.

"same parts with a builder who knew the rim inside and out, and its been fine in at least 6000 miles" << my real reason for inquiry having bias vs all DT'. My guess incorrect lacking pattern 1st time around? 2nd... failure to use a quality butted spoke like the Saim Force 3x butted or the 2x 13/14 S strong.
