I appreciate that I'm much less likely to round off a torx nipple, but when the 3-4 riders need wheels trued after the same ride it'd be a lot easier without taking 3-4 tyres off.
They still have normal square flats for truing with the tyre in place, the Torx end is just nicer for initial building.
Also, those hex nipples only seem to come in in aluminium. Not keen on getting more seized nipple problems.
Yeah, I think my brass hex nipples are actually Sapim. They work happily with DT spokes.
