Does anyone know the optimum angle that the nipple should exit the rim for wheels built with rohloff hubs? Would it depend on the ERD?

I’ve found this ‘diagram’ on the webs, but its more a visual aid as there are no measurements. This is the description in the rohloff manual

The Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14 is only available in a 32/36 spoke version. The ideal rims to be used are triple hollow aluminum rims from known manufacturers with reinforced spoke eyelets (min. 4,4mm) or alternatively, rims which are diagonally drilled or with countersunk nipple seats (e.g. ANDRA, Taurus, GRIZZLY and EDGE 7 from Rigida/Ryde or the Ex19 rim from Exal).

@R.Hobbs might know?

If you use a spaim.hm washer then then nipples can pivot nicely.
