copemech Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Ian, They are easily replaced if broken without re-building the wheel, no harder than replacing a tire. If you are not handy, find a club mate who is! That is the easiest way, although he may charge you a few pints! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big-ian Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Thanks but a lot of the nipples are rusty and the few that are broken are as a result of trying to tighten them as they were loose, i`ve soaked them in various different lubricants etc and have not suceeded to loosen them off,that is why i am going down the root of getting them all replaced so as not to have this problem in the future, your thoughts on this would greatly be appreciated. many Thanks ian.

copemech Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Ian, Not sure where you are located, but most cycle shops can build a wheel from scratch, just ask them if they are good at it. The best guys I ever seen at wheels would tell you honestly no problem, or grimace at the thought! Even the push bike guys are normally very good at wheels, and cheap too. Just get a set of spokes and nipples on order, do you have a local dealer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
