Ryan, I think I mentioned that we abused the exact same rim/hub combo on our MTB tandem, and we're not exactly lightweights either.

Just thinking about it, I really miss our loop - a quick shot across town, then a long slow climb on a quiet MUP. Near the top, we'd turn off into the bush and navigate pedal-bashing rocks the size of basketballs, then some great single track, water crossings, and technical stuff. All that was to get us to a wide path that looped around a mountain and opened up to an incredible view of the beach. More narrow, technical riding brought us to a steep and twisty paved road good for about 60Km/hour before we got to the beach path that mostly meandered along for 10k back to the house. We usually stopped for breakfast along the beach too. Poisonous snakes, kanagaroos, and girls in bikinis. What more could you ask for on a morning ride?

Oh where we could go with that question!
