Exactly. Climbing hills on 51x13 fixed is fine, but if I try the same on my road bike it's impossible because I know I have the gears.

Unless you have a fixed at 52x16 and knee joints let than 1 foot across ;)

Nah, not totally bonkers, but it work, if by light tourer you mean a very small pair of pannier or bikepacking, then that ratio work well for the majority of ride, you got a decent range from 109GI to 33GI.
Haven't decided on the route yet, but will stay clear of insane steep hills.
When is the Shimano cassette coming out?

Just put a 40t or 42t N/W chainring instead, keep it simple, that should do you well with luggage.

Thinking of building a pair of light tourer wheels. I got a pair of NOS Mavic CXP14 32h. Plenty strong in their own right. Now I'm thinking about hubs.
I'm looking at some older XTR, XT hubs. I know they're up to snuff and does the job well, but should I go with some newer ones instead...?

CXP14 are awesome rims, but they're more slavery than tourer, I'd sell them off for a pair of Archetype, with luggage, a standard 28mm tyres will need to be inflated significantly more to the point it'll end up feeling more like 23mm, especially on a narrower rims to prevent those squirming feel when cornering with a load.
The plus side is that the Archetype make great all round rims in term of weight, strength and width.

Disc? I just bought some Novatec d771/772 from aliexpress and they came in at around £50 for the pair with currency conversion. Light, and seem good quality.
Not cup and cone though, sealed bearings - not sure which you're after.

Definitely would. Tried for some time to find one for 1" steerer within my budget or one which I would really like.
Thanks everyone for help. My first go was mavic OP CD with silver spokes and low flange miche. But then silver look grew on me. I guess silver wheels it is. -

CXP14s are slavery
Archetypes aren't -

Archetypes are super dull, slave by numbers

I've used them on my audax bike since 2013 I think, modern rims but look great on steel road bikes
