FWIW, to second Aaron's suggestion, the Velocity Quill is an improvement on the A23, as many have found the A23 too easy to dent/flat spot (myself included). It is a wider rim than the a23, enterprise, or pacenti brevet, but any road caliper found on a riv shouldn't have issue with it's width. Maybe overkill if you're staying off rough roads and gravel, but personally I'd rather spend the extra money for peace of mind. As far as Velocity hubs, some of them are rebranded Bitex, an industry standard in prebuilt wheels. Unsure of their QR road models.
VO enterprise rim is NOT tubeless compatible if that is a current or future concern. VO hubs are easily serviceable, and run for a good many miles. I have been running a rear VO hub since 2017 in varying frequency of use and have yet to replace bearings. If you're not trying to future proof your wheelset, that $400ish price tag from VO is pretty sweet. Pacenti Brevets has recently shot up in price a good bit. Nice looking rim, tubeless compatible. Seem to build up with relatively lower than usual tension on the non drive side rear depending on what hub they're paired with, and I have received at least one with a flat spot from the factory. But as the old adage goes, "sh*t happens". Hope this helps! -Ryan Keystone Bicycle Co.
