So the weekend started with the usual pre checks before heading out of chucking the bike in the car knowing that I had one snapped nipple in the rear wheel so 31/32 too late to sort it and whats 1 spoke anyway.
Saturday morning arrives and pop the bike on my mates rack and notice another nipple might have snapped hey 30/32 it's fine. Decided to grab some more nipples from the shop on the way home just in case - tubeless wheel so a bit of a pain to replace nipples.
Count up Sat night shows it's actually 4 gone

Rest feel solid so pack the spare nipples and tube and head out for Sunday ๐Ÿ™‚ once I forgot the riding got much easier and trying to land smooth was order of the day.
Survived but I think it may now be time for a full rebuild...

One of the guys around these parts dropped his bike/wheel on the ground, a spoke snapped and the nipple went through the rim tape on his tubeless wheel and no amount of stans in the world could fix it. Id say you were lucky!
