I had my 20" front dynamo wheel built by Paradise. Can't recommend them enough tbh

not sure why it gets a lot of stick from everyone
They are ok for light use. not the nicest to use or work on by a long way but OK and fairly cheap if you use them within their capacity.
They may have ironed out these problems but if you were lugging weights up hills in manageable gears with powerful mid drive motors (see all modern cargo bikes) you would drastically shorten their life. and once they break internally there's nothing to be done except warranty the hub and get a new one.

Me.
Alex Supra 26" is sup welded joint, very high quality alloy, was their 26" DH/Enduro rim from back in the day. Rigida/ Ryde do a 26" of solid quality aswell, not quite as good an alloy and pin jointed, but they are heavy load rated and built about 4 of them now which haven't immediately exploded during cargo use!
DT don't make anything decent in 26", there is the old 533d, but only in 32h I think, they are OK for about £25/30 but the Alex Supra is better.
Spokes, yeah get some Sapim strong from Ryan, not sure if e-strong (which are a grade beefier) will fit in a Nuvinci, but I know Saprim strongs definitely do fit and work well. -
I had mine built remotely by Really Useful Bikes in Bristol. They specialise in cargo bikes and import Enviolo hubs, so sent down my old wheel and they rebuilt with a new hub, as well as switching sprocket and aligning the interface correctly. This was important as it meant not needing the sprocket tool or fiddling with interface alignment. Back with me in less than a week. Would recommend!
Would also recommend getting the beefiest version of the Enviolo available - I had the Cargo version and it died in less than 1000km. Now I’ve got the Heavy Duty.

Does anyone have recommendations for a wheelbuilder for cargo bike wheels?
I have ordered a replacement rear hub from Enviolo (as my Nuvinci N380 has done its time) - went for the EXTREME hub: https://orders.enviolo.com/collections/hubs
I have personally enjoyed my time with the N380 - not sure why it gets a lot of stick from everyone.
I need a strong 36h rim 26"and a the strong Sapin spokes.
I have used this company to get spokes in the past but it's a bit of a pain to send it all there & back tbh:
