Wanted: Quality Wheelset for long rides, touring

Thanks - was thinking cheaper than that considering a full ultegra wheelset on spacycles is £247 http://www.spacycles.co.uk/products.php?plid=m2b17s178p1954

I'm not familiar with DT rims for touring how do they measure in terms of quality?

The R1.1 are akin to Open pros and have a great reputation but are not what you would call a classic touring rim. I run a sub 1450g 32 hole climbing wheelset using DT R1.1s on a carbon shell hubset, at 107kg I never hear a squeak out of them and remain true despite being a bit hamfisted at times..lol
So with the dura Ace hubs they are weightier (circa 1700g) and a bit more meat at the flanges, I use 32 spoke wheels for pretty much everything but if you're wanting to use really wide tyres then these aren't what you're looking for in any case (will go to 32mm tyre)

As for pricing, the Rigida's are good solid rims & inexpensive too (much less than half the price of the DT's), and the Ultegra's offer a cheaper alternate to the DA hubset for sure. The only downside in reality is an Ultegra/Chrina combo (the lightest rigida rim on offer at Spa) builds into a wheelset around 200g heavier than mine.
tbh mine don't sound what you're after

gl finding something :o)
