Get OTP 29ers wheelset instead, budget wise they work well, On One I think have a discounted budget 29ers wheelset that's usually found on their Kaffenback.

Worth that over building my own Novatec/XT > archetype? Seems silly to buy OTP if I can build my own quite happily and not have to compromise on rims/hubs/spokes.
Cost of Archetype to Novatec 771 with competition spokes would be ~£250.
£100 more than Aksium One Disc and about the same as these http://www.wiggle.co.uk/kinesis-crosslight-disc-v3-roadcx-wheelset/ which are meant to be much better. Huh. Hadn't thought about OTP.

Hub-wise, what should I be looking at then? XT are very affordable, is there a novatech equivalent for disc hubs?
Edit: Should have UTFS - Novatec make disc hubs. Twice the price of XT though...
