• Archetypes are £99

    ftfy, and you'll need new spokes if you switch to HED. I've yet to see any convincing argument for the pricing on the HED rims.

  • Hard anadised are £116 and I'll be building with new spokes anyway. But I hear you otherwise. I'd heard rumours of a drop off in build quality on the Archetype's. Not sure how true that is, but it's got me second guessing myself.

  • I'd heard rumours of a drop off in build quality on the Archetype's. Not sure how true that is...

    The rumour probably relates to what Strada wrote.

    I've never seen any corroboration of this, which is curious considering how many Archetypes must be in circulation.

    Either way, Strada say they're happy with the quality again so that needn't be a factor in your decision.
