I know Campagnolo/Fulcrum nipples are guided through the rim with a magnet and a magnetic insert.
What I'm after is knowing if the Campagnolo/Fulcrum insert fits a standart 2mm nipple or if anyone makes similar for a 2mm nipple. The stainless spokes I have are only very mildly magnetic so looking for something a bit stronger.
*Disappointed*

I enjoy the comedy responses but useful ones are also very welcome.

Sounds like a way to build a covert ebike motor to me.
Are you getting into cyclocross?
I just want to feed some spokes into a sealed rim. No magnets will remain and no motors will be involved.

the Fulcrum mag kit [i]will not fi[/i]t into a normal nipple,
the threaded part is about 4mm in dia.
What about finding a steel spoke and cutting it down so a bit sticks out of the nipple, might need a small magnet to fit so it powerfull enough to "picked up" by the magnet outside the rim.
Thank MTB Rob, I had considered that. Now, can I find a ye olde steel spoke?
Seems Campag/Fulcrum do a number of sizes of that tool. Wasn't sure if any of the fitted a normal spoke nipple.
Pretty sure "stainless" spokes are still magnetic.
Only slightly. The neodymium magnets I had to wrestle from the side of TH fridge only gently pull on a stainless spoke. Not enough really.
Oh well.

That's just for a normal rim - I think the OP is after something he can use to drop a nipple into the valve hole on a UST-style rim, then walk it round to the spoke hole.
Use a piece of cotton thread and a vacuum cleaner......
Vacuum cleaner? Does that work?
