If you're really riding on the track and only good days on the road, aluminum nipples; if you ride streets in weather, brass nipples.
Utah doesn't get a velo for another year so No, i'm not competitive on the track. And i have access to a spoke holder. Im not going to ride these on bad weather days. Ive got a heavy indestructible set of wheels for that. But if theres bad weather on race day ill be riding these.
