Interesting comments. OC sounds like a good idea, but it's perhaps a bit oversold. I was originally considering the A23 OC offset rims in 36h for light road touring, but I suspect they'd be a touch too light. Polished A23OC are quite expensive. H+Son offer a lot more bang for the buck, and QC appears to be better - at least according to some reviews. That said, Velocity moved production a few years ago I think, so I may not be fair to compare rims from 10 years ago.

Thanks! I wonder if you mean zippy in aesthetics or zippy in feel? I'm leaning towards polished Archetypes at the moment. Just to try something different.
