Where to buy DA Hubs and Archetype Rims for good price

Hi I am hoping to order some DA9000 hubs and Archetype rims tomorrow. I think Sigma or Bricklane seem the best place to get the rims and I assume both shops are reliable. The hubs seem the same price at Evans and Wiggle but just wondered if anyone knew if anywhere is selling them cheaper than normal or are there any shops doing bank holiday discount codes? That said I would still consider the Hope Mono RS if I could get them cheaper than the DA (same price more or less with skewers) so any deals on these would also be of interest. BTW done the normal searches on google before you ask but drawn a blank so far :lol:

    Evans for DA and Westbrook cycles for Hope (183 pounds, so yes, cheaper). If you want to buy the rims online, I think the hubjub has the Archetype a tad cheaper than anyone else

    Cheers Ugo. Just to check one last time at 15 stone a 24/32 set up is ok? You have advised this on a previous thread. No worries about going 28/32 or 32/32 if you think that will be better. Cheers again for the advise/input.

    Yes, unless it is a touring bike

    Hub jub will send them out by My Hermes and they will take 1 week to get to you not worth the small saving really.

    There other dealers too who offer free shipping you know.

    Wiggle just started doing the Archetypes and they seem about £5.50 cheaper than most other places.

    Evans on the rear, but they don't seem to stock the 24 front (my friend had to get his elsewhere too)

    Cant get the 24h DA for love nor money so will need to go 28/32 which is not a problem however if that's the case should I just save a load of dosh and go Ultegra 32/32? FFS! Good heads up ref wiggle though cheers!

    they'll also leave them in bin, on the doorstep or throw them over the gate. Never order from a shop that uses my herpes.

    I'll ask where my friend got his. Recently built these up for him, as I am just starting to learn how to build wheels. Similar to what you want but on CX-Rays. Sorry, can't seem to do the BB code off my tablet.... https://flic.kr/p/nBuXCS

    It's actually in the H plus Son catalogue, nothing to do with Wiggle bored staff... :wink:
