aluminum nipples

(1/8) > >>

blueee:
hey, so i got a birdcage to antigram and am using 182mm spokes 3 cross (is this right?)

Well im concerned cause im using aluminum nipples and while building the wheel it is already tightening up and the spokes are very low on the threading. it appears that by the time i actually tighten things up, theres gonna be no spoke sitting up near the top of the nipples where they pull on the rim... and since aluminum nipples are weak (so i hear) do you think this will be a problem?

Sasha:
Cassette hub? If so that's the right size. Aluminium nipples are fine. Just go a bit steadier with them as they round off a bit easier.

blueee:
neato
used lithium grease as opposed to antisieze, not a bigge, yee?

Sasha:
It'll be fine.

blueee:
they just looked at me, what do i do?
