Yes, the triple box-section design and single eyelets provide excellent structural integrity. Combined with the 24.4mm width, this rim is a reliable choice for long-distance touring and randonneuring where durability is a priority.

The Weymouth rim is drilled for Presta valves. You will need to use Presta-compatible inner tubes with this wheelset.
