Eliminating the nipple access holes in a wheel rim eliminates the need for rim tape, particularly useful for tubeless setups, but it does complicate the wheel building process somewhat.

I did not show the entire process of spoke length calculation, only the ERD measurement as that is a method unique to this type of rim.
