The other question is how "questionable" are the roads you plan to ride your centuries on? Wheels that work well for road riding may not work well for gravel roads and the like.
The roads I would be riding are not service roads or gravel roads but urban and rural paved state roads. The wheels are 28 spoke wheels laced up to axis rims.
