I'll "reconstruct" wheels for my CL flippers.
I'd probably use new spokes & nipples and stick the used spokes in the "used spoke" pile.
There's a chance they might be used to replace some old UPC spokes.

I wouldn't reuse a nipple unless they removed EASILY.
I'd rather deal with consistent, new threads and "flat" flats.
