Light touring wheelset recommendation
My commuter bike (kona honky tonk) also works well as a tourer, I am looking for a new wheelset that is racey enough for day to day use but strong enough for a reasonable load (110 kg combined weight, nothing massive).
I could get something custom built but wanted to see if I there were any other options?

Strong
Light
Cheap
Pick 2
Strong and cheap, the light in the title was for 'light touring' rather than 'light wheelset'.
Hunt wheels- Hand made wheels
Just riding along-Sheffield, custom built wheels
I would think 28 spoke minimum with that weight of 110Kg, You wont get much less than 1500g for a pair of wheels, better to be on the heavier side for touring
