My next wheel build is going to involve a Planet X 101mm tubular rim, drilled for internal nipples. It was originally built with small nipple washers, and I'm going to fit the same washers when I rebuild it. So, 101mm deep rims, internal nipples and teeny little nipple washers. It already sounds like a total PITA. In order to get the washers in place before I start wobbling a nipple around inside the rim trying to make it thread onto the spoke, I'm thinking of using a claw-ended pick up tool to drop the washers in place. Has anyone else tried doing this, and if so, any good?
