Get a Rigida ( or Alesa) Sputnik in 36 h. They are certainly not road rims and even for a touring rim they are big and heavy, but they are absolutely bombproof. We build them all thhe time in our shop for rohloff equipped bikes.

A rohloff hub has only 32 spoke holes and can only be laced two cross. We have customers who literally go around the world on their rohloff bikes and when I see those bikes at the shop, the wheels are as true as the day they left it.
