Good nipples with knitting needles.

These nipples worked perfectly. I went with brass hoping they wouldn't rust like aluminum nipples. The OEMs were aluminum and I had to cut out and replace most of the spokes, they couldn't be turned, only rounded. I hope they remain adjustable for the life of the spokes.

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Good but not great

Soft Nipples - Needles

These nipples are a bit soft. Those are brass nipples and it might have something to do with it. I like it when my nipples are a little firmer. When using a nipple wrench, many of these came loose when I tightened them up as my nipple wrench is a bit tight anyway. Some of them were torn and rounded and I had to replace them. Overall they were good and did the right thing, but they're boring

  • Price

Best choice for unibody wheel building

I'm a big fan of DT Swiss products and these spoke nipples are no exception. These nipples are the best choice when you want a solid wheel construction. If you're good with grams then these brass nipples are definitely heavier than alloys. However, I'm not a racer and need durability more than weight savings on my wheels. I paired them with DT Swiss spokes and am very happy with the construction.

Pros
  • Superb construction
Cons
  • Fits

Exactly as advertised!

My experience tells me that DT Swiss is the best brand when it comes to bicycle wheel components. Please note that the black finish on these nipples is only "very good" but I have never seen "perfect" in that regard. I probably won't rebuild the wheels I have just to replace the supplied nipples, but after three nipples sheared off the wheel I ordered these as replacements. I'm sure the three I replaced won't fail in the same way. FWIW I could only find 12mm nipples locally.

Pros
  • Great all round performance
Cons
  • Big and chunky

SAPIM spoke nipples are not as good but cost a third of the price.

Like many people, with the right spoke wrench you can round the flat surfaces of your nipples. You need solid knitting needles! These nipples don't hold their flats long enough to tighten the spokes. This is due to the physics and good durability of the impeller. You need tight spokes or your bike wheel sucks. Halfway through tightening the spokes I had to switch to a screwdriver in the spoke head. The planes curled up and the black coating on my nipples disappeared! I have used SAIPIM nipples…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Not the best
