Rohloff’s have a huge flange {fnarr fnarr}.
My 32 spoke Rohloff wheel has not broken in 6 odd years of touring and load carrying, infact IIRC the official Rohloff tandem build is still 32 spokes. The flange leads to differing spoke angle at the rim, so that could be a weak point in many cases. SJS/Thorn use specifically drilled Ridiga Andrea 30s with a hole pattern designed to suit the Rohloff. I wonder in your case if the spoke angle is causing some rubbing or kinking where the spokes cross.
Summit’s up.
I think SJS build the Thorn rims with Linseed oil as a lube, it’s certainly sticky stuff. They don’t use washers and I don’t even think the Andrea is eyeletted.
DB spokes should be a strong as plain gauge, however the drawing process will work-harden the spoke in the centre, this also makes me think there is fatigue possible.
