Hehe, sorry Rob, didnt mean to cast aspersions on your kick-ass wheels. Yes, I did ask for wheels that would be indestructible, with as many spokes as possible, and "weight be damned."

@Lukasz - well, I have the wheelset I'll be using - the above-mentioned Psimets. Just want tires, not a new wheelset for now

@JunkYardBike - those look nice, but damn, $64 a pop for training tires hurts.

@Chris - I checked those out. 500gm apiece - not the lightest. The Vittoria Randonneur Hypers have a similar mostly-smooth tread and clock in at 350gm, and I was leaning towards them, unless anyone has any experience between these 2. The Grand Bois do sound appealing, though...
