What wheel is best for a touring bike used as a road bike?
I ride a Jamis Aurora. The spokes on the back wheel keep breaking and I am purchasing a new wheel later today. Should I get a regular/cheap touring wheel? What kinds of things should I look for in a new wheel?
I suppose I could put a road tire on it since I ride on roads to and from work all the time (30 miles round-trip) and do the occasional city excursion, but I like (I think) the stability of the touring bike tires/wheel.
Any and all recommendations, within a particular budget are very much appreciated.

How does a Canadian buy travel insurance outside of Canada?
I am a Canadian citizen, I pay my taxes and my medical bills on time and I am still considered a resident of Canada. I have been in China for over a year and my previous insurance ran out – which didn’t matter because I am covered in China by the school I work for. Now I have to go to Ghana for a week. I’d like to buy travel insurance, but all the sites I’m finding say that you must be in Canada to buy the insurance. I can’t go home first! What should I do?
