Description
Crafted for precision in traditional wheelbuilding, DT Swiss Standard Brass Nipples deliver unmatched reliability for cyclists seeking durable components tailored to deep-section rim setups. Designed with a square interface and top slot, these nipples ensure seamless compatibility with standard spoke wrenches, making them an essential tool for professional builders and DIY enthusiasts alike. Their robust brass construction not only withstands the rigors of high-performance riding but also guarantees a secure hold during assembly—ideal for custom wheels used in mountain biking or road racing where precision matters most.
When paired with deep-section rims, these nipples optimize wheel stability while allowing builders to fine-tune spoke tension effortlessly. A key tip: reduce spoke length by 1mm when installing to ensure perfect alignment—a small adjustment that maximizes strength and aerodynamics. Weighing just 40 grams per 32 nipples (2.0mm diameter), they strike an impressive balance between weight efficiency and durability compared to heavier aluminum alternatives.
Unlike lightweight competitors that may sacrifice longevity, these brass nipples resist corrosion and deformation over time, even under extreme conditions. Their sleek silver finish complements modern rim designs while maintaining a classic aesthetic favored by discerning cyclists. Whether you’re assembling wheels for gravel grinds or competitive events, these nipples provide consistent performance without compromising on quality or ease of use.
