Nice. I built my XC’s entire rear wheel with Spokes From Ryan as well (the ‘new’ rear from old stock ebay hub/rim). It’s been absolutely fine and their price and speed of postage was excellent.
Trued the absolutely horrid front wheel a bit today. Still wobbles but only within 1mm now. Issue is flat spots on the rim. Initially the ‘stache bars felt weird but it was much much nicer once I loaded the front rack with some bits.
What wasn’t nice was a tyre-width-sized piece of sign with thin staple/nails sticking out that wrapped itself perfectly around my rear tyre.
Somehow, so far, so good. No puncture. Much to my surprise. I expect a slow flat by tomorrow though, my luck isn’t that good.

Fixed a puncture yesterday- first one in 3 years!
Rim tape had slipped and the inner tube poke through a spoke hole.
Caused by Douze cost saving exercise, using narrow rim tape from China instead of 22mm Velox.
Also changed a broken spoke and trued the rear wheel.
Actually straightforward enough to remove the rear wheel, I thought the Gates belt, disc brake, geared hub would get in the way but it all came out easily.
