The Alex R390 recommended by landotter has been easy for tool-free
tire/tube changes, at least with a Continental Ultra 3000 kevlar
beaded tire.  The socketed construction sure made for easier lacing.

I don't recall the Salsa Delgado also mentioned by landotter being
socketed when I built a 559/26" wheel with one mated to an ENO
eccentric hub.  I suppose their 622/700c version might be different.
