The fact that there is such a forum is an indictment of the whole system.

Oh also, is it normal for Reynolds wheels to have I9 Torch hubs? Because that’s really cool. I hate every wheel OEM using their own hubs, or rebranded ones, with different spacing so you can’t just tune the derailleur once and be done.

Is there anything specific to look for to match the existing nipple?

Alloy, black, fits 2mm spoke, size B spoke wrench compatible. What else?
Also match the nipple length. Most likely 12 mm. And remember that 14 ga and 2.0 mm are the same size.

I don't know who made mine, but they are straight-pull and have a Reynolds logo on them - I don't see any straight-pull on the I9 lineup.

edited to add: I see Reynolds logos on I9's carbon wheelset offerings - maybe it's a new-ish partnership.

How to buy the right replacement nipple.

I noticed 14 and 15 ga, not sure if that translates to a 2mm spoke and same size wrench.

Easton ea90 slx from 2011.
Why didn't you say so.

Straight pull CX-Rays, brass nipples, and it won't happen again. Otherwise, this will be a constant battle.

It should not happen anywhere. Sad!

Funny, I just assumed he broke it with his spoke wrench, not while riding. Maybe not, huh?

I figured the opposite, based on personal experience. I still ride mine, and they're a decent rim. Not sure I loved the 18 up front, but no issue once I upgraded the set up.

14 gauge is 2mm and 15 gauge is 1.8mm. I think Easton used Sapim double butted spokes on those wheels. They're a lightweight wheelset, so maybe a 12mm long nipple.

He should check the nipple length. Different lengths don't play well together.

Really, he should just join up with [MENTION=107711]datlas[/MENTION] and start a carbon wheelset group buy. :)

Hm. These definitely had both Reynolds and i9 logos on the hubs, and Torch on the cassette carrier. Be nice to have a nice carbon option that would allow for consistent hubs across wheels.

Can’t they all get along?

Depends on whom you consider everybody to be.

How about some firefighting action. NSFW alert - the S word is uttered in the video.

Nobody was posting for too long. AG and her mother were doing a bit of sniping about dinner plans, so I was being scarce.

Thanks. Easton rebuilt them in 2012 but used the alloy nipples.

I think this could be my first wheel build.

Yes, caliper says 2mm X 12mm. Thanks.
