I recently purchased a used, older Specialized Allez. It was ‘ridable’ when I got it, but it needed lots of ‘attention’ for my personal liking. And, I’ve already ridden it several times as I get to the various “issues.” One of those issues is that at some point the nickel/brass nipples on the rear wheel have corroded to the point that they’re almost not useable for truing. Probably due to the south Florida salt air. The spokes look like they’re in descent condition. Anyway, I’m thinking about re-nippling it (and re-spoking any if needed), and just wondering if there’s a preferred way that I should go about it. I.e. — just go spoke by spoke as I work radially about the wheel; by laced spoke couples; DS then NDS (or vice verse); etc. FWIW, the rim is a Mavic CXP 21 (622x15), and the hub is a Ritchey on a 2x9 gearing system. And I would do the work on a truing stand. Any suggestions?
