Homemade driver out of an old spoke and a nipple below a bit of thread is a good fix for deep gaps between wall and hole.

Just tried to copy this - how do you get the spoke to thread far enough through the nipple to engage the other nipple?

Thanks, but I think I’d run into the same problem with that as with the nail punch I currently use. It would happen if either the spoke or nipple were a little skewed and I’d have to back out and retry. Thankfully it worked better last night. The biggest problem is that I build wheels so rarely that I have to relearn the process and technique every time!

Started a build with my first Kinlin last night, an XR26.
Lost 3 nipples down that damn hollow so far, bugger.
