It's just more time consuming so I charge more for that but I'm happy to do it.
The undrilled rim bed is a solution to a non existing problem. Properly applied ,quality tape will not leak and the weight saved is pretty marginal.
It also limits the choice of nipples, it doesn't allow rim washers to be used and you can't use socket style(hex/Dsn) nipples and tools.
