Fair do's. I suppose with the riding you do, you want something that gives you peace of mind in regards to repeat functionality. What else are you looking into?

I like DT Swiss stuff. Scherrit says their rims build well and I like the versatility of their hubs. My rear wheel is making some noise though, presume it's hub bearings need replacing but they seem to spin fine. Maybe it's the ratchet thing slipping/gripping on something it shouldn't. Still works fine, just makes squeaking noise.
The fat tyre stuff though I'd probably build cheap since it's not a primary focus. Not look at what DT Swiss offers though.
hippy
Of course it does. But the tyres I tried all exhibited the same problem and I'm not changing tyres just because one rim maker can't get their shit right. Actually I did change tyres, when I got back I changed it to tubeless... and then snapped the only bike frame the wheel worked with so don't use the wheel any more.
