nice chris kings there @fussballclub

right pain to get hold of ardennes rims on their own though

oh, and don't HED do builds using Hope hubs? They're about as good as you get quality-wise until you drop the bomb on CK hubs.

You might not appreciate the clicky clicky though ;)

.

For something a little bit special, I can recommend a small outfit in the US which is starting to import here, hand built, (alloy was my selection) or carbon rims on some pretty special hubs designed 'in house' and made in the US. Can't fault them for looks... http://hermes-sport.com/

nope...

clicky click is ace... love a noisy freewheel

Dan is probably referring to the lower spoke count rims.

24 not low enough?

they look nice. good name to VK11 - would bang

fucking hell that's pricey

Dt Swiss r460 rims ftw.

Jesus. I think I'll try hard not to break mine.

Better watch your Christmas intake then ;)

Are they literally more than twice as good as archetype's? Doubt it.

I am looking for summer/good weather wheelset. Current 6400 ambrosio evolution/open pro wheelset seems bit too heavy (w/o cassette about 2180g). Any suggestions for wheelset in 200 euro budget? RS31 seems bit too heavy. Second hand suggestions also welcome.

Thanks!

Check the Superstar wheelsets out linked a few posts back. 30% off at the moment and reasonable weight:price

You mean these? http://www.superstarcomponents.com/en/pave-28-ultra-11speed-wheelset-2024.htm

Posted wrong link. Anyway, I don't see a lot options in clearance tab.

This. Quite keen to get a wheelset built with these in the new year. Although I'd be happy with the RR440 too, but they seem tricky and or silly expensive for what they are.

30% off everything apparently, not just clearance. Code: XMAS15

From previous posts I understood that it was limited time offer. Code does not seem to work now.

I heard Archetype are rebadged Alex Rims.

LOL
