Good point. But I will use brakes, it's a ssp project, not a fixie one, because it's a lot of traffic here and not so much rules...drivers, specially cab drivers, don't give a... for cycling. For that reason (traffic) I will use a 44/20 or 49/22 ratio too.
Did I mention that we don't have such a "cycling highway" or dedicated roads like in Denmark? Yes, it's sad.
LE.Otherwise the CNC's SL42 are 45e and the Archy are 71e, even they are lighter. Hmm, I don't know what to say/

I have built a few H+S SL42... never thought much of them... very narrow, quite heavy and if you have brakes, the black disappears quickly. If you don't have brakes, then the Formation face rim is nicer... although it's the same thing without a brake track.
Also, don't see the point is spending a fortune in light spokes, when you build heavy rims
Archetype is the best rim H+S makes, whichever way you want to look at it. If you don't use brakes, then you might want to have a look at the new H+S hydra
