• @Heldring yeah I think I read something similar, does that mean good or bad? I admit my complete lack of knowledge on the topic, till now I only restricted myself to ride the bike rather than get into all the little details, so please bear with me.

    What about H+Son archetype? Same as Hunt in terms of rebranded wheel of other giant manufacturer?

  • Those rims are a very good choice if you like the aesthetics: they're well reviewed, wide, aero and stiff so match them to some cheap track hubs eg novatec/formula and you'll be fine. A good wheelbuilder should be able to sort you out. You could also lace them yourself. Track wheels are a good place to start wheelbuilding.

    Archetypes are also nice, and well reviewed but a bit pricey and too much hhsb 'by the numbers' if you care. My choice would probably be the new Mavic Open Pro UST or Kinlin XR-22 since they're shallow which I like better on this frame. You can also get disc specific rims (ie no brake track, lighter) if you don't run brakes
