external nipples

External bicycle nipples are the traditional, accessible nuts that connect a bicycle’s spokes to the rim. They are seated on the outer edge of the rim. By adjusting the spoke tension, you can true the wheel.

A spoke nipple is a threaded cylinder. The spoke inserts through the hub and into the rim. The external nipple is screwed onto the threaded end of the spoke from the outside. By turning the nipple, you pull the spoke tighter or loosen it. This alters the hub’s position relative to the rim. Thus, the wheel is kept perfectly round and balanced
