Not even an early deadline to use as an excuse! Do you mean to say you do other things apart from thinking about fanatsy cycling that might have distracted you??Yup, my new panniers and also replacement brakes both arrived this morning. So I was busy playing with the trike.
I see Devolder/Pauwels/Minard/Lemoine have a 4 minute gap

Hang on. I though Maths was something you do and Math was once you’ve done it?So if you have a problem to solve, it would be Maths,
If you solve the problem, you’ve used Maths to solve it, but when speaking about your working out, you talk about your MATH 😕

With spokes, It depends on
With spokes, It depends on width, lacing and number of them.What pattern at they laced in?
With your touring bike, how many spokes do you hub’s take, because you will need new rims to take the same as your current hubs.
I guess you are going to lace them up yourself? So you will need new spokes and then take them to a bike shop to true them?
If you want it to be as easy as possible, then a wheelset is your best option.

OK, just to replace the rim, I’d be looking at something like thisDT Swiss

http://www.tredz.co.uk/.Mavic-A-319-Road-Rim_50097.htmOR, for a bit more aero and colours to suit
http://www.tredz.co.uk/.Halo-Aerorage-700c-Road-Rim_18723.htmFor a ready built wheelset. I’d look at something touring specific. NOVATEC for quality budget sets.
Also, here are the Mavic A 319’s built up to show you what they look like
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mavic-319-hybrid-touring-wheels-/140993013068
They are just a few to look at.So for rims, DT Swiss would be my choice, for wheels, anything with Novatec hubs should keep you in a decent budget 😉

Well the tyres are handy to
Well the tyres are handy to know because then I can look at wheel width’s. Bike and weight is handy aswell. Need something strong but fast aswell.The brakes because you have three different types normally used in touring. Side pull, cantilever or disc.
From what google tells me, you have Canti’s?
I shall have a think. But for the weight you are carrying, I wouldn’t go smaller than 28’s.
Are you looking to replace both wheels or just the rims and using the hubs you already have?
If its the full wheel’s. What speed cassette are you running? 8/9/10?
The more details people have, the better suggestions you will get 😉
