RidingAgain Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Bought a hardtail yesterday and one of the rims has a broken nipple (spoke is fine). I've not seen this before and did some research into it and found some different thoughts regarding how it may have happened... And some different thoughts on how to deal with it. Anyone here have experience in this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheX Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I used to lace all my own wheels, then I got lazy. That should be a VERY simple fix. I would check to make sure that the spokes aren't cut too short. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
