I've just built up a SP dynamo (SV-9) with a Kinlin XR31T. Obviously can't comment on reliability but feels pretty solid. I previously built up some Archetypes and was going to go for that again for the dynamo but took a punt on the Kinlin after reading the cycleclinic description. I like my Archetype wheels but not fond of the look of anodised brake surface once it's worn off a bit. The Kinlin looks pretty good imo.
32h/3x, Sapim Race. It's 1050g with no tube/tyre so no lightweight, but archetype would be about the same. With a cheap rubino on, it's even more of a heiffer ;-)

In terms of handbuilts, what's the best clincher rim for durability/weight/comfort? Still Archetypes? I loved my set that I rode for the last couple of years but have just sold them with a powertap.
Hub wise, are Novatecs ok? The ones I built on my Croix de Fer have held up, but I don't know if there are better options. DT swiss?
And finally, spokes. I have no fucking idea where to begin.
I'm sort of half tempted to build the front onto a dynamo hub, just so I can use them into the winter or for longer rides this summer.
