There's a HUGE difference between the sort of terrain Patrick goes
bikepacking on and the C&O Canal Towpath. And there's a huge weight
difference as well (around 100 pounds!). I agree with the assessment
that Dyads would be fine, provided Philip is mindful of possible erosion
gullies, etc., on the Towpath.

Dyads should be just fine, perhaps with 36 spokes to hedge bets
against potholes and future bikepacking? For reference I destroyed my
rear Dyad bikepacking on hiking trails on Pikes Peak after two years
of ab/use. Me, bike and gear total 280. My front rim is still a Dyad
and is happily going strong and I've not been gentle with it.
With abandon,

Looking to get a wheel set built with either of these two rims in

I'm about 150lbs and don't carry much more than 20 pounds of
overnight camping gear. Most it'll see is the C&O in the summer.
Is the Atlas overkill? I also will commute 20 miles with just my
lunch in the saddle bag, so I don't want to be too much of a slug.
