Hi Guys,
Looking for some pointers here...
I'm considering the H+Son Archetype - to lace to a disk hub - to run 700c slicks on the commuter in the summer - and cyclocross type rubber on the winter.

The question I have is - the rim doesn't have eyelets - so are alloy nips a no-no?
 
Re:

If you're running the wheels in winter, I'd avoid alloy nipples entirely - stress corrosion cracking, or simply them corroding and collapsing with even the lightest touch of spoke key. Pacenti CL25 rim on offer from On-One at £40 each is a good deal.
 
Re:

Fair point...
I'd spotted the CL31 - but not the CL25
I was really looking for something a little deeper than the Pacenti
The Archeypes are out there for £50 - and then use brass nips?
