Potentially another weight saving there then (which can only be good news).
There are other small changes I can make to my setup to shave off some grams here or there but I won't be going crazy with it.
Ultimately, my Zipp 60s weigh in at 1.82g for the pair and a drop of over half a kilo will be tangible.

I use alu nips on all my Wheels. I've never had an issue. I build them With spoke prep and using a tool to tension the nips via the spoke holes. So the flats of the nips get minimal wear. If you have to take a spoke a spoke key to them a lot, the flats deform. They wont seize to the rim bed if its carbon anyway to be honest.
