For a lightweight "touring" wheelset (that's a bit of an oxymoron), I'd want something that can be repaired readily and can handle a bit wider tire like a 700 x 28c. I'm assuming the OP is going pretty minimalist on his touring set up. The velocity A23 is pretty sweet and strong.
Is this for a self-supported backpacking trip or is there going to be support on this trip? Just curious given the equipment choices the OP has.
