Replacement Rear Spoke Nipples
10/16/24 at 03:53:34
 
Hello everyone, first post here.

I rounded out more than a few nipples on my rear wheel trying to true it up, and I can’t find a replacement size for the OEM ones. If anyone would have any ideas where I could source some relatively cheaply, that would be amazing. Thanks!

You rounded out the nipples by trying to adjust them on the outside of the rim.. right?
In order to replace the nipples, you need to remove the tire.  Once you remove the tire, you should be able to adjust the nipples using the slot in the nipple on the inside of the rim.  So, you would not need replacement nipples.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

That’s correct, I didn’t know if them being rounded out and slightly warped would cause any issues when riding.
