• People who don't grease nipples (actually possibly use some sort of threadlock) suck.

    It's an xm819 on an XTR hub, the cones and bearing faces in the hub are pretty shagged but got it running smooth enough. Went to sort the dishing and the disc side nipples started shearing.

    Doesn't help that I don't have the tool for the spoke cups.

    Have ordered replacement cups for the ones I removed with pliers and the tool to fit them now.

  • Spoke cups are the bastard lovechild of nipple washers and eyelets, yes/no? i.e. more Mavic proprietary douche-baggery?
