All wheelset use the H Plus Son Archetype rim. One uses Shimano Dura Ace 9000 hubs and Sapim CX-ray spokes the other uses Miche Primato or the silver Miche RG2 hubs and Sapim Race spokes. The Archetype Dura Ace build weighs in a 1605g for a 24 spoke front and 28 spoke rear. The black archetype/miche build is 28F/32R and the silver archetype/miche build is 28F/28R.
The Miche hubs use big 6001 cartridge bearings, so they are long lasting bearings. they even have a bearing preload adjuster just like Campagnolo/fulcrum wheels do. It's an Italian thing.
All three wheelset of course are reliable and will do very high miles for the riders. In fact I probably do my job too well as they will not have need to come back for another pair for a very long time.
Cost of 24F/28R H Plus Son Archetype/Dura Ace 9000/ Sapim CX-ray build £554
Cost of the black H Plus Son Archetype/Miche Primato/Sapim build from £280 and weight from 1660g.
Reliable wheels for all budgets
All wheels leave the shop with tension +/- 5% and true to within +/-0.1mm. Stress releiving is key to a long lasting wheel and this is why I only build a few wheels a day. I spend alot of time stress relieving/hurting my hands for you. The spoke count used in the these wheels reflect the desire for all my wheels to last 10,000+ miles or at least until the rim wear out. That is spokes outlasting the rim. Just remember to service the Dura Ace hubs take care of them and they will last a cycling lifetime or a silly number of miles.
