Check back in in a couple years and I'll let you know how it went!
Figured I'd update this thread with my findings... We spent nearly three years riding 17,300 miles from Alaska to Argentina with 700c wheels. Although they worked, there was no chance at getting any replacement anything so my conclusion is that I will never leave the USA with 700c again. I've written up the whole story here:
