Building Wheels for: Winter training/ Audax / light-mid Touring (I'm 70kg)

Planning on:
32/36 Shimano 5800 hubs, Sapim race spokes 3x, Exal LX17 rims

Comes to approx £125, am I doing it right? Is 36h rear overkill? Anything better than LX17 for not much more money?

36h is indeed overkill, especially when you weigh a mere 70kg.

That wheelset will last you quite some time for sure.

It bugs me slightly that there'll be no strength bias to the the rear DS (with 32/32) but keeping it simple and balanced has its attraction, thanks for the advice.
