MY wheels on my main Bike accedo 700c came originally with my Raleigh Pioneer urban and then moved onto a surly LHT.
They have covered over 6000 miles in the last 2 years and i am wondering if i should replace them soon.
there are no signs that they are on the way out and other then a baggage handling incident have never needed any work on (broke a spoke).
By my next tour (summer 11) the wheels would have covered 10,000 miles.
Should I replace now before they go or wait?
And if i should replace, anyone know where i can get hold of a nice set at a reasonable price ? also should i get 36 hole wheels rather then 32?
I am using fat tyres for comfort 50mm.
