The odd archetype is not round enough but I have had more problems with velocity rims. Even hed rims are not perfect which they should be for the money they cost.
It really is very occasional and is a problem if it happens for the wheel builder not the rider who has paid for the work. Maybe one in a hundred rims maybe not even that. I have counted three archetype rims out of the hundreds that I have bought that I had to reject.
