Ryde Andra CSS
Well, you definitely don't want to waste your money on the CSS version if you have disc brakes. I wouldn't worry too much about whether they have double, single, or no eyelets. They were a thing with old school tubular rims made by flattening soft thin walled aluminium tube, but anything extruded to final shape can have the wall thickness designed to suit from the outset. There's a wider version of the Andra which would probably be the first choice if your budget is tight. I'd also consider SUNringlé MTX 33 which is cheap for a welded rim. The DT 545 is obviously a bit narrow and maybe light, depending on your load, so I'd say the shortlist in ascending price order would be

What rims should I use for touring on a tandem (disc brakes)?
It has to be 26' and 36h, tyres will be around 2' - 2.15'. Candidates are:
In an ideal world I'd like the inner width of the Mavic, the finish quality of the DT, and the touring cred of the Ryde. But hey.
Having trouble finding a disc rim with double eyelets, so I'm including rim brakes are on the list. Perhaps good to have more meat in them anyway? Or is that silly?
