The noBS is what I suggested before. But I really think it's too heavy for most uses except for really heavy loads, tandems and larger riders. The Aeroheat is exactly the same rim geometry as the Dyad. They both come from the same extrusion die. For some reason when they roll at 26" and smaller they call it an Aeroheat.
