What rims would suit DT 240s 28/24?

Would these suit a deep or shallow rim best? Would quite like some lightish 35 mm clichers.

    Deep... KInlin XR 300 would be perfect or FLO 30 if you can get them

    Even the Pacenti SL23 or the H plus Archetype would work well. I have tried the 28H XR-300 on 240 hubs and that was very stiff/ Avoid shallow and don't be tempted by the DT Swiss RR440 (it is a good rim though) unless you are light and use thicker gauge spokes on the rear even then the Pacenti would be a better choice with this hub.

    Even Flo dont have Flo 30. And I cant find Kinlin XR 300 for sale. The Pacenti look very much like the Archetype but cost more is there any difference?

    Have you tried you friends at Sdeals for the Kinlin?

    I also think it's a pricey Archetype... so get HED instead, which are an even pricier Archetype... :D
