Lazarus is right, you NEED rim tape. Those little spoke nipples may not seem like much at 0psi, but at 100psi they're flat tires waiting to happen. Even with deep-V rims the tube will get forced around the sharp edges of the holes that the nipples are recessed into. Rim tape is super-cheap too, my LBS always has it right next to the patch kits.
