I put them nipples to use.
I got the wheel built.
I made some minor "professionalism" mistakes on the final product. When I first started to build the thing I made sure the rim label faced the right as I should have, but failed to do that after I tore it down and restarted due to another error - hey first time. Despite my efforts to avoid it I miscalculated and instead of the valve hole being between the "parallels" it's closer to a cross zone, but I can still get a pump on it and it's mechanically solid so I'm not going to tear it down and start over (again) for those two reasons.
It has a Redline two-piece driver, one of the few 12T options I found, and I can theoretically change the ratio in the future if I feel like it. Sun Rhyno rim, Wheelsmith spokes and nipples. Pecosdave pure determination on assembly. I think I could build the next one faster.
