Rim advice sought. My faux retro fixed gear road bike (an On-One Macinato) currently has Novatec track hubs with Mavic Open Pro rims, 32h laced 3x. Its new wheels will be 28h. This is non-negotiable, as the Powertap track hubs I've just got (as readers of the power meter thread will be aware) are 28h.
I was thinking of going for TB14s, but with 28 spokes it occurs to me that I may be better off going with the default option of Archetypes. Views and alternative suggestions welcome. I'm 80kg in my socks, and the rims must be silver, preferably polished, but definitely silver.
In a non dished wheel the stiffness of the rim is not that crucial... if you like the TB 14, go for it... Archetype is stiffer, but as above, your wheel will be stiff by geometry, provided your hub has a wide enough flange to flange distance
