Bike Doctor and other people have also said that the problems I've seen are the sign of a bad build but they always caveat that with the fact that Handspun is known for being pretty good wheel builders that build MANY wheels. Since Bike Doctor didn't do the original build, I have no knowledge of who built the wheel. I'm just happy that they've been so terrific working through a bad situation.
As for the opinion that you wouldn't put a 300# rider on the dyad, Velocity also said that the Dyad should be fine for a 300# rider and it's possible that something happened during the build to make it a bad build. I'm going with the heavier Chukker more to be absolutely certain my problem goes away than because I doubt the Dyad.

I'm almost tempted to advise you to look for a wheel builder and skip on the shop. You never should have had to go through these problems in the first place.
The Chukker looks super, I've seen some and think of building one just cause they look cool. Good luck with the wheel. A wheel of this size should be a super duper wheel.
