Super attractive wheels: White Industries T11 hubs to H Plus Son Archetype rims. With DT Revolution spokes and alloy nipples, total wheelset weight is 1560g — light yet strong.
Blog: H Plus Son Archetype Rims
I have one new H Plus Son Archetype rim left — black and 28h only. I want to clear it out so let’s make a deal if you can use it. Maybe a little discount on spokes to sweeten the deal? Hit me up.
Black out all the bike parts! DT Swiss 350 hubs laced to H Plus Son Archetype rims.
The lighting in my new shop is terrible for photography so I haven’t been blogging wheels lately. Follow me on Instagram for quick snapshots. Here’s a recent built in the meantime:
The requirement for this build was a set of do-it-all road wheels for a very fit rider. That means training, some racing, gravel and whatever the day calls for. That means a preference for lightness without entering fragile territory. I put together this package of White Industries T11 hubs, H Plus Son Archetype rims and Sapim Laser spokes. The spoke count, 24 front and 28 rear, combined with a light butted spoke help keep weight down. It’s still enough spokes and uses a stiff enough rim that they’ll be plenty resilient. For style points, check out the blue hub and matching alloy nipples.
Similar to a previous set but with Shimano XT hubs. I recommended Center Lock rotor attachment, which I like for its relative ease of installation and removal. Typically CL hubs are a little lighter too. The rims are H Plus Son Archetypes in the premium grey finish. I’m not a fan of conspicuous branding — these rims may have the cleanest branding of any bicycle component.
