Boast post. Process:
1. Discover you've ordered some sort of fancy nipples with a square end, ie regular screwdriver won't work.
2. Lie awake at night pondering how to work around this. Deep carbon rims, nipples easily lost within. Consider inventing aluminium magnets. Or custom made tweezers.
3. Have eureka moment. Discover 6 mm alu rod in a box. Drill end with 3 mm drill. Then bash an old brass nipple into hole to shape it.
4. Hey presto, home made nipple driver.

I have some of these coming.

With a name like squorx I had to order some.

I have a park tool that has a square opening. I assume this will work.

Then I ordered a 88mm deep rim.

Now I have an interesting problem.

Squorx? Trying to think of something clever to say about that. Can't really do my thoughts justice. Good luck to you sir, and report back when you have a result, such as it may be.
