Same here. I got my 1st Dyad wheel when I had Peter White build me a generator hub wheel for the front of my commuter. I have the 32 spoke front. My bike weighs about 65 Lbs fully loaded (32 Lbs bike add to that a heavy duty U lock and cable, handlebar bag, saddle bags carrying my days food and drink, clothing etc, and you get to that weight). I weigh about 215 Lbs on top of that. The front wheel has been on for 4000 miles of year round commuting and looks just about as good as new. I finally had enough of the rear wheel breaking spokes on me (one full replacement under warrentee as well... OEM wheels tend to be suck). In the rear I now have a Dyad with 36 spokes and an XT hub, also built by Peter White. I've got about 1000 miles on that wheel and so far it is perfect. Neither wheel has needed even a tiny bit of adjustment. For the Summer I ride on 32mm Bontrager Hard Case tires. For the Winter I ride on 35mm Nokia W106. Both fit fine. The Dyads have been excellent wheels... infinitely better than the the OEM bontrager Cameo wheels. So the wheels cost as much as the rest of my bike, but they will last for years and years to come (as will the rest of my bike). Normal retail bikes in the USA just can't handle the stress of commuting when you weight just over 200 Lbs and you need to take a bunch of studd with you each day.

Happy riding,
André
