It's like reading my own post as I was aiming for the same setup and am about the same weight :)
The general trend in this thread is that there are cheaper and/or better rims than Archetypes now. RR511, R460, XR31T and XR22T are often recommended.
I went for 28/28 on R460DB (they are 28€ per rim) in the end. That should survive everything I planned to do and not to do.@Turkish carbon is the way to go

I am planning on having Mack low flanges laced to archetypes, as a fair weather commute bike in London with a 20/24 count.
I weigh about 63kg, and as far as I'm aware this count is safe, do people normally choose to go higher just for durability? Also a few users have mentioned there are better and cheaper rims than the archetypes now, so any suggestions on different rims? (I probably won't be running brakeless)
