New rim advice: any views on Kinlin XC-279 vs H Plus Son Archetypes?

Hi there,

I'm after a new set of hand built wheels but debating whether I go for the Kinlin XC-279 or the Archetypes.

Any views on either on those, good / bad?

Thank you.

I have the archetypes and they are superb wheels, look awesome too

Thanks - I guess the brake track wears out over time, right?
(unless you're on discs)

In terms of looks, the Silver Archetypes are hard to beat ... I dare not put them on the bike for fear of spoiling them!
