Ooh personal questions, 85kgs, long distance/smashfest. Needs to take some abuse. This is why I usually just do more spokes. Curious if rim depth means I should consider less.

Yes with deep rims you need less spokes. I’m bigger than you and run 18/24 spokes on 55mm Light Bicycle rims. Width as well as depth and rim profile is a factor; they are 25mm wide and a U profile.

Thanks for this, I've gone for 28 front and rear, was advised that the standard 32 spoke combo and added depth would be over kill and too stiff.
Likely that 28 is equally over kill but finding anything less in a son hub at the moment seems hard.
