I'm building up some stans arch rims and I see that Stans recommend nipple washers...
anyone know where I can actually get some?
I'd say around any football stadium there's bound to be a few quality ones.
Thailand..?
expected as much 😉
When did Notubes start saying that? I was told they were a bad idea on their rims when I asked the same question a couple of years back. Plus I couldn't find any anyway.
Thisisnotaspoon got some for his new build, try him.
shame these rims do not come with eyelets...
eyelets imho are the sign of a good rim.
sorry i know that does not help with your quest
I used to think that too. My 8 yr old Olympics are fine though.
eyelets imho are the sign of a [s]good [/s]heavy rim, which may or may not be good quality.
FTFY - I've seen more Mavic rims fail around the eyelets than I've seen Stan's rims fail full stop.
I'd not bother with nipple washers.
I've borken (typo but I quite like it actually 🙂 ) quite a few mavic rims by cracking around the eyelets...
I've got my Arch EXs now and I'll be building without washers.

Ping me an e-mail, I'm still waiting for the ****ers to turn up but I ordered soemthing silly like 500 as they were cheeper than buying 4x32 so can probably spare a few!

TBF, there are many many more mavic rims out there than stans, but yes a few (only a few IME) models did have this issue.
