  1. Hey, I know snapped spokes are common but today I discovered that I have
    snapped one of my nipples off. It is still threaded on to the spoke but
    the whole thing is dangling freely. The fatter part on the bottom that
    is supposed to keep it in my rim is probably inside there somewhere.
    Has anyone else done this? I don't know when it could have happended
    because I haven't been riding the past few weeks.

    If I keep riding it with a spoke missing will it permanently damage my
    wheel? I am kind of lazy and I dont want to take my whole uni apart.

    perhaps the nippleless spoke might puntrue the tire?

  4. I popped 7 nipples on a steep 9 stair handrail one time. It sounded like
    someone breaking crisp celery. It was pretty funny.

    It turned out that the nipples were not compatible with the rim i was
    using and did not seat right as a result. I'm sure mine is a different
    case than yours, spencer, since the kh wheelset is a tried and true
    combo. Just figured id share . 🙂

  8. Only problem with my nipples is when I twisted one the wrong way too
    many times and it popped off, so I had to stick it back in and turn the
    other way to get them nice and tight and whatnot.

    You should check if any part broke in the tube, cause that could pop
    the tire, and probably wont be hard to fix, cause if you can buy one
    nipple, it shouldnt be to expensive, just gotta get the right size of
    nipple, then screw the sucker back in.

    Now watch how many people laugh while they read this lol

    LOL.

    I actually got my shirt twisted in a drill press once and bruised my
    nipple. Ouch.

    This thread is really funny. I alway have trouble in hardware stores
    using the word nipple or male or female in the plumbing department.
    It's so silly that I get embarrassed.

    Still laughing.

    Have you tried rubbing your nipples with grease before twisting them so
    tightly?

    Would getting my nipples greasy be better when I twist them tight? or
    should I leave them like they are?
