I built up a rear wheel using a Nexus 8-speed hub and the Mavic A319 rim, and a front wheel using a Velocity Synergy rim and a Shimano XT hub on the front. I've had no problems with either rim. Both were built to very high tension and the eyelets are fine after a few thousand miles, no cracks, no bulges.
