• Do DT Competition spokes come with brass nipples?

    If you buy them in boxes, they come without nipples, so you have your choice of nips to order separately. I like the DT Sapim Hex ones, very easy to work on as you can tension everything from outside the rim rather than using a fiddly spoke key. If you don't already have the hex driver, you might as well get the Squorx nipples and accompanying driver as Torx is a technically superior drive interface.

  • The Squorx nipples appear to be 15 mm long with no mention of other lengths. Do you need to adjust the calculated spoke length to accommodate the longer nipple?

  • From the drawing, it seem like the overall length would be 15mm but the start of the thread is in the same place as a common 12mm nipple. That's the case with the Squorx nipples in my DT R24 factory built wheels, I assume they use the same nips in the factory that they sell as parts.
