As you mentioned, hidden nipples do nothing for the wheel, performance-wise but are a PITA to work on. WI are really good hubs but don't discount BITEX. Great hubs, very well made and easy to service...and they come in many colors...BUT, I'd just ditch the whole rear wheel and either order something or have somebody build you something..
If you don't have a wheel builder around, give me a shout and I can design and build something for your wife. Or something from BTLOS..

I am a wheel builder and like doing it, but I think its cheaper just to order a built wheelset from BTLOS and I can adjust the tension if needed. I agree Bitex are ok hubs. I have a pair a wheels with them. I just think they have a cheap look to them when compared to hubs like WI. I have a pair a wheels with them.
