Nice LHT! Peter builds the best wheels in the biz, IMO. He built a set for my Atlantis with a Phil touring rear hub and the Schmidt front, using Mavic T519 rims (same rims I built the wheels on my Soma with) and Wheelsmith DB spokes (again, what I used building my Soma wheels). His wheels were absolutely bulletproof, and never required any truing even though I toured on them with 90# of total bike & load (not counting my 250lb svelte body) and rode on lots of rough roads. I also had that Tubus Cargo rack like you have, although I had a Bruce Gordon front rack.

Enjoy that wonderful bike, I wish it was mine!
