[RBW] Is the Velocity Synergy the only 650b rim being sold for use with rim brakes?

Hi all, The building of my A.H.H. seems to be stalling out over rim selection. Is the Velocity Synergy the only 650b rim being sold for use with rim brakes? And a related question, has anyone built up one of these for use by a Clydesdale? I am well over 200lbs and am looking for a strong reli
