Any recommendations about how to find and order a suitable wheel?
Okey dokey but here are some questions
How much do you weigh
How much weight of gear do you carry
Two panniers only on back? Any weight on front?
Have you had any problems on your 3 previous tours?
Have you ever had the spokes tensioned at a shop?

Devil is in the details Mr bjorn
