I was unsure about using standard nipples upside down, as I might be out some, on my drilling angles. Making the nipple sit poorly against the inner face of the rim drilling. So I've gone for specific internal nipples, with washers to compensate some. Together with the small 2.5mm hole diameter, it should be a resiliant set-up crosses fingers.
They will be a bit more of a faff to build. But I have plenty of time.
I have a bag of veloplugs too, instead of rim tape, to make retruing less of a chore.
