Amateur here but did my first undrilled rim pair of LightBicycles last month. Thought it was going to be a PIA but using a little screw in the nipple and a cable routing magnet was not too bad. Lost a couple in the rim until I got the hang of it. Took a while, but I guess my time is free.
Tyres went up tape-free on them earlier this week so I guess that was one plus side. Though I don't think I'd get them again if I had the choice. Never had problems with home applied Tesa tape.

Sorry if this has been addressed already. I wanted to know your (collective) thoughts on carbon rims without access holes. I usually call them sealed rims. Really great for tubeless as you don't need tape but an absolute pain to build. I built 2 sets last year using a magnet to pull nipples through the holes and of course losing quite a few nipples along the way and having to shake them out.
Anyone else have any experience of building them up? Thoughts?
