Hexagonal Nipples

As with spokes, there is a nipple to suit to every wheel requirement. To decide which nipple is best, you must weigh up the available information:

• Sapim makes nipples in nickel plated brass and in aluminium.
• All nipples are forged.
• Arguments in favour of a brass nipple are price and rigidity.
• The strength/weight ratio is the principal argument for a 7075 alloy nipples.
• It is superior to all other makes.
• If a coloured anodized alloy nipple is selected it will guard against corrosion as well as look special.

Hexagonal head nickel plated brass nipples allow a higher torque without damaging the four spans of the nipple. Because truing is done from the head side that has a larger diameter. It can take more pressure.
