I have been building wheels for over 30 years. I have never seen a more helpful presentation.

Awesome job, now all I have to do is make my small tools and get to replacing spokes. Thanks Mark in GA USA

I'm never going to do this myself but it's really cool to see how it's done.

Brilliant video, Thanks so much . Just waiting for replacement to arrive . Really didn’t know what to do when I saw “no hole in the rim “.

Dear all, i am not sure if this concerns countries with hot and dry conditions but in europe we have experienced several cases of alloy corrision with "no hole" rims in which case alloy nipples and steel spokes were used. After one year of use the nipples corroded to grey-ish powder. Spokes would pop from the wheels while riding! The reason is mostly the lack of the steel washer that avoids direct contact between the carbon rim and the alloy nipple. In the case of "no hole" rims these washers are often not installed (For obvioues labour reasons). One should always use brass nipples in this case! The rim manufacturer (a big known brand) and the european spoke manufacturer that resides in a small country, famously known for its beer and fries, were involved in this case. They would first argue with resons like "seawater" and "sealant fluid" but at the end the design flaw was clear and they replaced the wheels. Although several people were complaining about the webiste information of the rim/wheel producer they still offer "no hole" rims with alloy nipples not mentioning the design flaw in this case. Wheels from the same manufacturer with holes in the rim bed that used steel nipple washers are fine after several years of use under the same conditions. Intrestingly DT Swiss does not seem to have these issues of internal nipples (alloy) combined with steel spokes. This could be because they use a different grade alloy. However, with brass nipples one should not experience any of these problems.

I knew you needed a magnet but got confused on how to remove. Nice instructional vid

Thank you! Now I know which rims never to touch.

Mavic MA40. Now that takes me back to my days working in a bike back here in the U.K in the 90's. I but many of them as well as open pro's etc.

I’ve built about 20 pairs of wheels in the last decade (all aluminum rims), and found this video after wondering how to get nipples in a rim without holes. No way in the world I would have the patience for that. I don’t care how much stronger carbon is, it would be destroyed when I threw it in frustration. Props to you, your ingenuity & patience!

Great video and tips. Amazed how difficult some bit of cycling repairs can be. 👍

I just had a custom carbon mtb wheelset built and also opted for the brass nipples. Not only for strength but mainly for longevity. Galvanic corrosion between aluminum and carbon is well documented especially when water is introduced.
