Spoke / Nipples
Atomlab Torque Nipples
Torque nipples are lighter and stronger than standard brass nipples. They not only lighten each wheel by over 20 grams, their wide alloy interface creates a stronger, stiffer wheel. The Torx socket back (instead of a slot for a flathead screwdriver) makes it easier to build wheels and the large wrench interface makes it much easier to tension the spokes. Also, the connection at the spoke hole has a larger pivot range which reduces the stress on the spoke.

Wheelsmith’s “DB14” model is a double-butted spoke made from 304 grade stainless steel. It’s dimensions are 2.0mm at each end with a 1.7mm center section, offering an outstanding combination of minimal weight and strength. It features rolled threading. The 1.7mm center diameter makes this spoke slightly lighter than the equivalent spoke from DT Swiss, which has a 1.8mm center diameter. We have found it to be very reliable in MTB disc brake applications. The DB14 is an excellent blend of durability and light weight.

Wheelsmith Spoke Prep
The ultimate spoke thread compound is SpokePrep™ because it is both a lubricant and a thread lock! How can it do both? When spoke tension is low and there is risk of loosening, SpokePrep “locks” the nipple by maintaining a minimum nipple torque. When spoke tension is high SpokePrep keeps nipple torque low with Teflon lubrication. We also have SpokePrep in two colors so you can prep your spokes and immediately know on which side of the wheel they will be used.
