Now that I'm in a Touring pass thru town ,
I can see the value of just getting a serviceable 36 hole wheelset .
no need to go OCD premium unless it really floats your boat ..

particularly in routes with Bike shops , damage it , then just buy a new one.
as high summer busy shops will replace a couple spokes .

premium stuff special orders, busy with hundreds of riders down the coast,
you want to hang around for a week? .. orders take time .
