I do - a screwdriver with a slot cut in it for doing up spokes, so that the

Funny that, my spoke screwdriver has a spike in the middle, so that it
locates in the spoke nut. It's only for initial assembly of a wheel,
truing uses a Spokey on the nut flats.

How many spokes end up sticking out past the nut, and what sort of rim
tape does that need?
