Thanks, Bill, you've already told me much of what I wanted to know: the best, intended use of such wheels. Since I no longer do fully loaded touring, I might want to sell them or trade for 650"s for a future project. Not sure yet, but what do you think a reasonable resale value would be?
Also, I'm interested in your opinion about Phil hubs, yes...are they worth the price? Is it the smoothness, reliability, or what? I could understand if you were doing a round the world tour you would want the most reliable hub available, but for most of us mere mortals, does it really make a difference? Thanks for your help.
