Building bike wheels is nothing new to me for the last few years and often this involves building with new spoke nipples and in some cases new spokes

However most of the time wheels on i take off of older bikes the nipple material gets eaten up because brass is not very rustresistant or considered a rustproof material and due to that im usually starting over with new nipples and in rare cases new spokes

Now as for the nipples themselves like other reviewsreviewers here on amazon i have also in some rare cases stripped these dt swiss nipples too and this can be rather annoying and stressful

I often have to keep extra spokes and nipples around because i had to cut the spoke because the nipple was stripped be it a flathead screwdriver nipple screwdriver drilling or a spoke wrench which is dangerous and never fun

Without this the nipple is more likely to strip otherwise even grease is or antiseize compound or ideally loctite or park tool red thread locker
