OK, let's go further with this. A google search of Kinetix turns up a whole host of stuff that isn't bicycle wheels. The rims are 32H, so that means the bike is meant for lighter weight touring than expedition (much lighter). Do you really need Nobium wheels? I doubt it (have you checked what nobium is?).

Double-butted spokes (now, I don't necessarily mind these, but I have serious doubts that in small-town middle America, you'll find much in the way of DB spokes -- I know in small-town middle Australia and even some of the big-city suburbs, you wouldn't). No mid-fork braze-on for a front rack. No spec on the BB cartridge, which to me needs to be good quality from the get-go. It doesn't say what the TOTAL weight capacity is, but assuming most bikes are specced at rider weight before things like wheels start to cause hassles, that 110kg might well be the TOTAL weight as well -- no good for clydesdales nor people like me who at 85kg can carry up to 30kg of stuff (including food). By the way... what do you do with a big and valuable suitcase if you aren't leaving at the end of your tour from the same location as you arrived? Tow it along on its in-line skates? And in the context of recent Schwalbe threads, does anyone know the durability of the Marathon Racers? I'd also be keen to know if the dimensions have been pinched enough to create toe overlap with the front wheel. And what about a rear rack?

Being less sarcastic and cynical... has anyone tried the Biologic tyre-pump-in-a-post and judged its durability and practicality for touring?
