Im probally a bit lazy, but I cant seem to find a definte answer online, so does anyone know off the top of their head, what the nipple size is with hope hoops (stans ztr flow ex), the hope website says 2mm brass nipples, but Im not sure thats quite right. I tried measuring with a ruler, but trying to gauge if its 3.25 or 3.4 mm is pretty tricky.
Cheers
size - what do you mean?
2mm is the nominal thread diameter of the spoke.
Thread title promised more.
Dissapointed.... NOT educational as the title implied !
Haha, I though I'd lure people in with an interesting title.
And by size I mean, what size spoke key will I need?????
Most 14g (2mm) nipples use a 3.25mm key.
Awesome, cheers, thats all i needed. Thank you
Black park one is my fav
Park ones are alright if you can't get anything better - best is the old Sturmey Archer, but you can't get them any more. The old DT was very good. P & K Lie are the best you can get now.

I do have one of those older Dt ones for personal use
But was reluctant to recommend so thing not easy to get now
I've not seen anything spine drive for ages , brings back good memories
The P&K ones are my favourite of what's currently available:

They also do an incredible wheel truing stand:

Scania Wheelnut.
I've not seen that stand before but have a bad feeling you have jut cost me a few week wages
It is absolutely gorgeous - and have you seen the non-linear dial gauges? I'm using a Park TS3 at the moment which is very slick, but not the same level as the P&K even with dial gauges.
I was wrong its many weeks wages but now I know it's there I'm just going to have to find away
