I have had my first go at wheel truing ,i managed to get them pretty perfect ,but right at the end i have damaged a nipple .the rims are mavic 121 era.I am now thinking replace all the nipples just for the practice and to make the rim look better.What size nipples do i need ?
I have tried to measure the spoke width but havent got a good tool to do this ,so not sure if there 1.8 or 2 mm spokes..Were they a standard size back in the day ??
Thanks for any help...





PS .
I seem to be working on bikes more than riding them lately..
