Tubeless wheel nipple/spoke

[TK-Sp3cialiSt]

Simple solution : spin wheel slowly with valve removed to get old nipple out... Will drop out easily.

 

To insert new spoke, use a single strand of an old brake cable, push trough the nipple hole, slide to the valve hole, slide the new nipple over the cable, tie a loose knot and pull the nipple into place. Once in place, pull the knot through the nipple and hold in place with a pair of pliers and tighten onto the spoke....

 

Job done... Takes less than 30 seconds per nipple

Expect to pay for new tape, spoke (if old one is not usable), labour and perhaps even sealant.

 

After rebuilding an crashed tubeless wheel this weekend I would charge an insane amount for cleaning the sheeaaat as well
