Really looking fwd to seeing your wheels built up. I've always loved the idea of internal nips, ever since I read about them on Royces site... never really found any good pics of them built up tho. Probably something to do them being internal.
BTW - if anyone googles internal nipples at work, remember to use safe search!
I picked internal for three reasons.
1)It means a smaller drilling in the rim, and more material holding the nipple in. So my carbon rim can cope with higher spoke tension?
2)Looks really neat.
3)Fancied a challenge/ curious.
I am sure I read on some wheel building guide that the is to facilitate the bending of the spoke rather so the head fits snugly? So if all those bits drilled out are on the outside, the spoke head should go on the inside?
(Please bear in mind my earlier post when reading this)
Yes. But if the flange narrows to its edge. There is plenty of room for the shoulder without the extra machining. I tried but the head of the spoke sticks too far out.
