Have a pair of Phil Wood 'Rivy' 36h hubs I intend to build up during the winter months for my Rambouillet, but am undecided on what rims to go with. A while back, Grant posted an insightful piece regarding the precarious balance of rim development (i.e., 'Light, Strong, and Inexpensive: Pick Two'). He then mentioned rolling out a new ‘Stouty’ rim of which I've been pestering Rick for an ETA for nearly a year now, but he confessed they were waiting as well. Complete speculation on my part, but I presume the delay may have something to do with Velocity moving it's production from Australia to Florida. Given this, I may just go ahead and choose from the current offering of rims (such as the ones below), but wanted to first touch base with this group to gather firsthand builder/rider experiences or possibly learn of other options. I'm also curious of any considerations pertaining to tire mounting/seating issues.

Incidentally, I will be running 32 mm tires (Jack Brown Green’s, most likely).
