re over-thinking spokes: well-built, relatively new, good modern wheels will certainly be fine, so don't worry. Spokes are light, though, and can be easy to replace. On the front. You have to work harder on the rear. A fiberfix kit has always sounded like a good idea for the rear, but I've never had to use one. If the rear is a cassette, then no worries. And do post pix!
