Planet X, big guys and nipples

Figured half of you’d just come in here for the title alone.

Anyway, looking to switch some things up and I’m looking at the Planet X 82/82’s or 82/101’s. I race mainly crits and TT’s, but I’m pretty big at ~195-200lbs. Anyone that big riding the PX wheels without issue? My concern is the internal nipples. I don’t want to be pulling a tubular off every time I need to re-true.

Also, googling Planet X nipples, comes up with some weird results(surprise). Are the nipples on the “inside” of the rim(closer to the hub) like the Stinger’s or closer to the outside like a typical spoked wheel? The closer they are to the center, the less problem I have with flexing because of the short spokes.

Thanks!

Nipples are inside of rim. If you need to true the wheel, you have to remove the tire. Which sucks by the way, just had to do that last week.
