The rounded thing is meh with modern rim drillings. It seems to be higher quality aluminum and good coatings that makes them reliable. Anyone actually have problems with modern Sapim alum nips on carbon rims? I've had plenty of issues with cheapo nips (brass included), but never with these, and I ride a lot in our Cascadia winter poo fest on carbons.
