The pic you requested...

These have been done for long time but have been slow about posting - sorry.
I hear ya about building. The first set of Velocity V rims I built were wrong... I worked from the outsde and did the hole to the left meant spoke to left thing, like any flat rim - WRONG. I had them both built and one about half-way thru truing before I realized my goof.
Doh! DOH!!!
It was my bike.
Alloy nipples are always a pain for me to use w/o scratching them up (and I had managed to get these in clean).
So then - I decided to leave it as is. They are on my MTB still going strong after 6yrs.
