Funny, I just ordered a 135 QR Vesper for rim brakes. The Vesper is the only 135 rim brake option, according to the person I talked to on the phone. That option is not on their website, which stumped me for years. I just told them today, "Take it off the secret menu and put it on the website, so Rivendell riders can buy them."
I don't imagine the Vesper gives anything up in durability, since Peter Verdone buys them for his mountain bikes, and if he broke one the whole world would know. I like the looks of the classic ones a little more, but the Vesper isn't any weirder looking than a SON Wide Body. I chose Onyx over any other hub, because I want the quiet running and the high engagement. I rode one a little bit, and liked it a lot. It's unique.
