Worth a punt. The Novatec A171/F172 hubs on those wheels aren't bad. Factory bearings are a bit shit but put some decent ones in when they go and they'll probably be less hassle over time. The old cartridge vs cup & cone debate...
I've found the braking surface of HPS rims to wear quite quickly (particularly winter stop/start riding), so not a great choice for a commuter/winter bike. Those rims could be Kinlins, which don't brake as well but last longer.

I'm looking at replacing the wheels on my commuter/winter training road bike. Considering the below Cosine at £66

Is it even worth bothering with a custom build of HPlusSon Archetypes 32Hx2 with 105 hubs? Wondering if I'm not better off just replacing the wheelset whenever at this price considering I'll be able to buy a few for the price of a custom made set.
PS: I had Seabass build my custom wheelset for my Bowman and love them (Hope hubs and Archtypes rims)
