I am carrying spare spokes and a wheelbuilder (cc/ @Klar ) plus I thought 24 spokes at that rim depth is quite a lot (?)

I am off chocolate and cheese so not mega heavy atm too :P

Im in a similar position having just sold 2 of my bikes, contemplating buying some 28 or 32's but may just chance it at 77kg's

Personally feel people worry too much about spoke counts, I've been touring on wheels with 18 radial spokes. Just bring a spoke key, worst case scenario you have to true them a few times until you get to a shop whence you buy a new set of cheap-ish 32 spokers and post your old ones home
