I'm sure this has been done to death over the years so apologies in advance! Is the normal wisdom still brass over alloy nipples? I know Cycleclinic likes alloy well enough. I'd prefer to go for black and the options are less for black in brass.
Personally I prefer alloy. I've never had any problems with Sapim Polyax alloy nipples. I've had a few issues with brass nipples, particularly black ones, which in my experience have a nasty habit of binding even when lubricated. If you want to use black nipples then I'd definitely recommend alloy.
