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.
