Wow I didn't realise there were so many different makes.
I've used Sapim, Aci and DT but none of the others.
Blimey! !! :shock:
Fascinating too.
Thank goodness for soup.

Well, DT nipples have a very sharp square edge to the spoke-key flats, ACI have a pointed "feature" at that site, Sapim randomly supplied nipples of 2 different lengths at one time, although both were nominally 12mm long........
What do you mean, you weren't serious...?.......... :wink:
