• Well I was riding them quite happily and I didn't notice anything untoward. DT Alpine spokes plus Archetypes makes for a ridiculously stiff wheelset, as you can probably imagine – they only got put to one side as I snapped my only non-disc frame, so I didn't have anything to use them with! I'm around 110kg and my last set of 32h Archetypes lasted until the brake track fell off.

    I'm pretty sure that the spoke tension is too high on the rear, though – I vaguely remember reading that DT Alpine III spokes give funky readings on some tensiometers – so that'd possibly explain the cracking.

    The front is absolutely fine, though.

  • Right oh, where's collection?

  • I'll be in London next week sometime (not quite sure when atm), so I can take them into the office (just off TCR) and leave them in wheel bags for you to collect whenever suits.

  • Perfect, shoot me a pm next week then if you like
