DCR Wheels says About the Archetype:
I cannot fault this rim. It is excellent by every measure. It can take full tensions. It is strong, light, stiff, durable. It has a larger braking surface than the A23 and a deeper profile. On my scales the weight is nearly identical, within 10g of one another, so natural variation may play a bigger factor. It comes with a welded joint and is made out of H Plus Son’s G609 alloy which is 30% stronger than standard 6061.
It can be used for a variety of applications because of its wide profile. It will take as low as 23c but you could also use this as a cyclocross rim. H Plus Son have said that a 20:24 lacing on this rim will hold a rider of up to*** 200lbs or 91kg***."
