While cleaning the bike last week I heard a clatter a nipple gave way and the spoke went loose. Managed to get into the garage last night and while truing the wheel a second nipple went, followed by another three as I continued

My guess is that the exsiting nipples are alloy (hope hoops 29er, bought s/h off the forum) so I am thinking of replacing all the nipples with brass.

Anyone got any cheap sources for bulk buys?

He said ‘nipples’. 😆

Lolz.

Ps, no need to thank me for the helpful info, just pay it forward.

Cheap nipples?

What’s that falling from the sky, over the north west? is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nope! Banhammer!
