T520 / A719 rims: nipples / alternatives?

[Pete Biggs]

Are 12mm nipples ok for these Mavic rims or are 16mm required?

Any recommendations for other sub-£30 700c touring rims with sockets
between walls at spoke holes*?

Don't know. But I do have A719s on my tourer. Is there anything I can
usefully measure without too much (any!) dismantling that might help you
find out?

Thanks Tony but don't worry. The more I think about it, the more it seems
likely that (normal) 12mm nipples would do. Longer nipps are more usually
required for v-section rims. I don't think any easily-taken measurements
would help.

Now confirmed by Peter Chisholm from r.b.t
