Nipples

[cyfa2809]

ok so we know this has been done before but...

my wheels need a true and im finally thinking of getting the shop to do them. ive been looking at getting coloured nipples for them but now im stuck
i read theyre not really suitable for heavy riding? i have aluminium (i think) eyelets too so the ali ones would weld themselves together.

so what are my options? i guess even black would be better, i presume theyre currently nickel plated brass (silver)
i want red ones if thats any help

what cost would i be looking at for a full wheel rebuild? (both wheels)

You need Cannondale King he is the wheel build master. Give him pm

 

[cyfa2809]

You have a ral problem with the colour red cyfa :roll:

You could do it yourself and just change out one nipple at a time mate....go on be a devil <<they are red as well

 

[cyfa2809]

no i dont! juat have two bikes with red detail is all

thats a good idea! wouldnt trust myself to re tension them properly though.

cannondale king does it cheap enough too
