Internal nips might sound like a PITA (cuz they are). But the contact surface with the rim is probably 60% bigger. So for heavier cyclist demanding higher spoke tensions (esp with low spoke counts). Its a nice idea. I even went as far as using nipple washers. Threading them onto the second half of the spokes, when you could no longer poke the spoke all the way through the rim, was fecking horrible.
NB: My veloplugs are getting a touch loose now. So its really important after a few retensions. To check the plugs as you refit the inner.
