Spoke Washers (Will these work?)
 

http://www.shop.velofuze.com/VeloFuz...sher-VFRNW.htm

I want to build some tubulars this summer so i found a nice set of Nisi 700c hoops from one of our other members, but they don't include the supported eyelets. Should these do the trick? Do i need special tools to install them or do i just drop them right into the top of the rim.

Thanks!

Measure the rim bore to KNOW the max outside diameter you can run, I have found 4 mm washers that are suitable, the referenced ones appear smaller in outside diameter than I would like. The original Nisi washers actually had a formed shape, basically as a trim washer might be found to accept a countersunk screw. They were filled too.

So is it possible to find the correct washers?

If so can someone please post a link of where to find them.

I think these will work

OH I linked the same thing

I used similar washers as you linked without complaint on these tubulars.

If you prefer ovals: LINK

I just built up a very similar Nisi tubular wheelset. I got washers from a BF member that look exactly the same as the ones Ex Pres posted. The ones I got either ARE the original/correct washers for those rims or the modern equivalent.

Oh and no special tools. Just patience and a lot of fiddling to get them inside the rim.

I prefer ovals.

Ovals are nice, but the round ones will work fine as well. I've seen the cupped washers with the soft material inside used on Nisi's high-end rims, but not always. My experience is that they dry up over time without any change in spoke tension. They seemed no better or worse than any other washers I used & rode on as far as staying true and preventing the rim from cracking. Doesn't matter since I don't know of any way to get them today.
