Review on DT Swiss 14G Alloy ⚙️ Nipple Spoke - Pack of 100 by Deejay Allard

Reducing the weight of the rim reduces the amount of energy needed to spin. The simple use of aluminum spoke nipples allows you to move faster with less energy. According to the DT website, DT nipples with brass spokes weigh 1g each. The aluminum spoke nipples weigh 0.31 g each. With a 32-spoke wheel, that's 9.92 g less wheel weight just by using aluminum spoke nipples. Because they are softer and have a higher coefficient of friction, making them harder to turn, I recommend using M4 4mm x 9mm x 1mm nylon insulating washers, a pack of 100 to make them easy to turn and one Park Tool SW-40 4-way spoke wrench for 127" nipples. The only problem is that aluminum spoke nipples tend to be expensive. While they're 60 cents at the bike shop, they cost 12 cents. If you use them, make them Make sure the spoke reaches the end of the nipple, otherwise only the aluminum nipple will break.
