That has been my experience as well. The LB 33s I built up 3 years ago have
handily survived several rebuilds due to busted spokes, nipples [!] and a rear
hub implosion. For stiffness and resistance to damage, I'd put them ahead of
Mavic 823, less ~200g per rim. The 38s on my DH bike have held up far better
than the Sun i29 [flat-spot-prone] wheels they replaced.
