ALL BUILDS WITH SILVER 32H ARCHETYPES ARE CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE. This is due to limited stock in the UK. If you purchase a set on the 32H Silver rims then you are committing to a wait with no lead time as of yet.

H Plus Son Archetype  has proved itself a robust rim for those who carry load in person or in panniers. This wheelset is for you.

The Archetype is a non tubeless rim that 23mm wide and 25mm deep. 

The rims are available in black or polished silver.

Spoke count is 32 front and 36 rear. Lacing is 3x front and 4x rear. With black rims and spokes, black Sapim Force are used which are triple butted. As I dont have these in silver for silver rims and hub silver Sapim Race are used instead.

The hubs are Bitex BX103. 4 big bearings are used in the main shell. A further 2 in the freehub. The freehub is made of steel and uses 6 pawls. It's over built.
