Having an issue replacing spokes on the above wheel. Two non drive side rear.

So I've been to Condor to get the spokes but the nipples they supplied are different to what is in the wheel.

They have no answer for me. Anyone got any advice.

Post pics of your odd nipples, please.

There are only three types of nipple used in the Bora - very old ones use an upside-down type nipple, fitted internally. I'd be moderately surprised if you have one of these as they were discontinued sometime in the very early 2000s IIRC.

More recently Bora has used an internal, pillar type nipple, 5.5 mm across the flats with a nylock insert - which has a load-spreading plate under it (you need to be very careful that this plate is there and correctly oriented) ...

The most recent (2015->) Bora uses an external nipple so it's readily identified.

We have the pillar type and the new type (external) nipples, not the old upside-down type and I'd have thought Condor would be in the same position.

If Condor really can't help, please email us: velotechcycling"at"aim"dot"com
and we can sort you out - we are not fundamentally a retail business though so it's be much better to work through Condor if you can.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
