Archetypes seem strong enough but I'm not sure about durability - my front braking surface is wearing alarmingly fast in these wet conditions. Faster than I remember rims like Open Pros, DT or even cheap alex rims. That's on shimano brake blocks. Loads of of that black alu powder gunge covering the bike and some corrosion already showing around the spoke nipples on both rims. I've been running them for around 3 months.
