It's on the complete opposite of the spectrum from relacing 90's shamals.
Yeah, right? It kills the flow having to mess with getting the nipple thought the rim, or worse, accidebtly dropping it inside the rim!
An easy DIY nipple tool you can make is to simply sharpen a ~1/8" or larger wire/rod/whatever to a point that you can wedge into the back of the nipple. Works great to get the nipple through the rim and engage a few threads. I made one out of a busted old wheel skewer.
