My colleague says one of his spoke nipples has fallen off and is rattling around in his wheel. I've never had that proble myself so haven't tried to repair it but is it as simple as screwing it back on to the spoke (after lifting the rim tape) and then tightening it all up with a spoke key?
I can see many things going wrong (I'm worried about the rim tape for starters) but if it is possible what shoudl I look out for?
