I have a problem with putting in a new spoke in my rear wheel. I had the wheel at 2 bikeshops and they struggle fitting the spoke and setting the tension on the other spokes. Does anybody know if there is a special way with this wheelset. Apperently the spoke turns when you try and tighten the nipple.

Maybe its like with most other specialized equipment. You have to buy a special tool at a rediculous price to work on most of their new stuff. It really irritates me as well as alot of you out there, i bet

Just use a vice-grip or quality water-pump pliers. And a wheelsmith with some ability. This is fairly common with straight-pull spokes.
