@@OjStudios these nipples dont have a spring loaded ball in em so its basicly an open hole also the hinges of the little cap prevents any Grease gun from properly fitting on the nipple.
Spoke prep is not always needed... you may substitute bee's wax or linseed oil.. Rub the bee's wax on the spoke threads or brush on the linseed oil on the spoke.. They function as a mild thread lock and lubricant... I do not like the smell of the spoke thread compound.. Both items are inexpensive compared to spoke prep and readily available... I use the bee's wax on all small threaded fittings like water bottle and rack fasteners to keep them from vibrating loose...
Imho you should NOT put grease on the copper brake shell of the rear hub, nor on the inside of the hub shell. This will gravely impair braking power. Only a thin oil is advised to grease those parts for smooth breaking.
A fine restoration and upgrade so far, which I'm enjoying very much, but with a 1000 euros of storage cabinets cant you afford a new brush for applying flux? Really?
Excellent work and a joy to watch while pedaling on rollers on a cold rainy day!
Thanks also for the real sounds of the process.
A true craftsman and invaluable work, congratulations

Funfact about the oil hole in the hub. Old types of grease were oil fed. So when your hubs got dry you put some oil in it and it would fix the grease
Grease nipple what you're talking about here? It's just for putting in more grease usually.

@@stan1845 Seems so. But oil is just gonna run out from hub and mess up everything.
Nice to know, thanks 😉
No spoke/thread prep compound?

This is a rebuild but not à restauration. You should keep as much as possible what was original....
