New Wheel for New 700

I have the new rear wheel set for my new Catrike 700 but I'm still waiting for the new Catrike 700 frame set which I have dubbed  "Red" to distinguish it from my current performance 700 which has been dubbed "Black".

I wanted a rock solid rear wheel set that can be loaded, abused and take me anywhere without worry.

The details:
Rim - Mavic A 719 2014, 700c x 36 hole
Hub - Ultegra FH-6700, 130mm
Spokes - DT Swiss Champion 2.0mm straight with silver color brass nipples
Cassette - Sram PG 1050 11-36
Tire - Schwalbe Marathon plus 700 x 35c (37-622)
Weight - Total weight 6.8 pounds (3084g). The beefy Marathon Plus and tube account for 2.3 pounds (1050g).
