I've made 3 sets with the IRD Cadence rims, and yes. You do not want to build those with less than 32 spokes. A spoke count less than that would make vertical truing a problem as they're quite sensible for over tension, meaning they're far from stiff enough to use with a low spoke count. For the 300 I guess it could do with less spokes.
OOps that should be 30mm Niobium. Yea mike uses mostly the DT Swiss RR1.1 and the Velocity Aerohead for his lower section wheels but he does also offer the IRD Cadance (well not under that name but I woul dbet it is the same rim just like the original post) rim by request.
