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 don't know what you are talking about... is it encrypted?

H+Son Archetype are expensive, 72e per wheel on wiggle. The CNC's 42SL are 45e per wheel (+24 shipping). Hmm...only 30e difference. Not so bad. There is a better price than 72e per wheel?

Also, sturmey archer hubs will be fine? Any suggestions for spokes and nipples (I know, red)? Also, rim tape should be 16mm or 22mm? Velox should be good enough? A lot of newbie questions, sorry...

I like Sapim CX-Ray bladed spokes - nice but pricey, and probably pointless with 32 spokes, so for your build I'd probably go with Sapim Race/DT Swiss Competition. As for nipples, I've always got on well with Sapim Polyax ali nipples. In fact, I find them more durable and tougher than brass ones. Hard to go wrong with Sapim Race/Polyax IMHO.

Velox is fine unless you MTB and get rims soaked in streams on a regular basis...Cloth tape doesn't like being soaked for long much.

Street SS it's fine :)
