BETTER THAN BRASS

Ordinary aluminum nipples have a bad reputation for rounding off, but the Taper-Hex Nipple shape makes it work better than brass. The tapered hexagon shape means that the spoke wrench can easily slide down the nipple to fit perfectly and transmit maximum torque without deforming.

LIGHTER AND EASIER TO USE

Since the spoke wrench slides on and off so easily, they are easier to adjust, and they save an ounce per wheel without any real loss in strength.
