Hey guys,
finally planing to lace my Phil Wood hubs into something nice. Will use DT Swiss Alpine III Spokes for maximal stability and DT Swiss brass nipples.

I really like the look of the Archetype's but the Open Pro's seem to be the rim to go.

What's your experience with those rims? Which one should I choose?

Open Pro's don't seen to be made like they used to. I went through a pair in 18 months of pretty light riding. I wouldn't buy again.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
