Bontrager SSR 24 spoke wheels?
Hello all, my 2006 Trek 7.5 FX has slowly morphed over the last year. Trekking Bars, Freddy Fenders, 35 Marathon Tires and now a front rack & pannier set up. It's my everyday commuter but the more I look at it the more I wanna start doing some touring with it. So my question is this, are the stock Bontrager SSR wheels (20 spokes front & 24 spokes rear) just not sufficient enough for "real touring"? I'm thinking I might take it to the LBS & see about some thicker/stronger spokes. I don't want to buy a new wheel-set.

Thoughts?

Thanks
