Hey dabac...

We are talking about a damaged, and snapped spoke nipple here...

Also...do you even understand what I am saying?

Spend lots of time in a bike shop...do hundreds of wheel builds and rebuilds as I have done - cycle through lots of failed wheels...eventually you will see with your own eyes what I have described...some with threads (damaged) still in them, some without - a nipple barrel sliding up and down the spoke. The cheaper the nipple...the more likely as well...since el cheapo nipples tend to have a thread or two less than quality nipples with more poke through allowance.

It's as though you are saying what I already know - and yet arguing with me...are you even reading my posts and comprehending or are you just a troll?
