An update here ... The wheel I ordered came in and the clowns built a disk wheel using a rim brake hoop. Not only would that be the only polished piece of metal on the bike, it also is just plain silly. So, that went back.

Next suggestion was Velocity https://www.velocityusa.com/ which are hand built wheels from Michigan. Only sets were available, so I got a front wheel too with a dyno hub as well. Put the rear on yesterday and am very happy with it on this morning's commute. It has the most quiet free hub I have had to date. I think it is an SRAM XD free wheel. Not sure who makes the hub.

Now the adventure starts on how to employ the dynamo hub! Right now I think a charge controller for USB and using my existing usb front light. Dyno lights are $$$ ...

Happy biking!
