I don't build the wheels myself, so I purchase the spokes and nipples from the wheelbuilder.
BC do CX-RAY, so that's (probably) what I'll go for if these wheels workout.
I hear you on the "why" for internal nipples, but with tubs you would have to pull the tyre off to true them up, so I went for weaker but more convenient external nipples.
Radial front and two cross rear, also- very dull I know.
Three coats of glue on the rims now, tyres go on tomorrow morning.
