Well commonly available is what you will have in a shop , if you do trash your wheel on a tour ..

Where I am , a fancy wheel , if your rim is damaged , Will be a long wait, for special ordered rims,

and time found to actually do the building amongst all the other summer time demands..

so if you start out using a commonly available wheel , the replacement wont be a let down..

and you can be back on the road on the same day..


in short , OP don't overthink it ,

ride what you have, if it gets damaged , sort that out on the road,
so bring funds for broken parts replacement.. should that happen..
