If you think it is not causing the issue then that is that... what about that other pic with the wierd nipple holes.
Not sure what you mean by weird nipple holes, it looks like part of the edge of the hole is missing ?
If this is the case - is it inline with the spoke ? ie. does the spoke point to the middle of the missing area ?
If it does then the only thing I seen like that is where cheap machine built wheels which have been built on a machine that isn't properly set up for the rim and the tooling has eaten away some of the box when the nipple was inserted.
If this is the case, the wheel shouldn't have passed QC.
Could it be a manufacturing defect of the rim itself ?
