Aluminum Spoke Nipple Corrosion at Kermit Bourdon blog

Aluminum Spoke Nipple Corrosion. When a mechanic tries to turn the nipple,. For multiple reasons, aluminum presents trouble for torque. After anodizing, rims are purged of liquids used in the electrochemical process. To take care of the nipples, you can also use oil or waxes that will protect the aluminum nipples from possible corrosion. It also helps during assembly to gently raise the. I've replaced aluminum nipples on a number of carbon rim tubeless wheelsets, the corrosion is a real problem that can be at least minimized. Inadequate flushing can leave seeds of corrosion deposited inside the rim. A corroded nipple is harder to turn as the oxides act like glue, bonding the nipple to its spoke. Using a high quality spoke key that engages on 4 sides (and fits properly) usually avoids this problem, even with coloured alu. To inhibit corrosion, most high quality wheels are built with “spoke prep,” an enamel like material between spoke and nipple that prevents electrical contact. I am about to build a wheelset using aluminum rims (dt swiss r460, no eyelets) with their own aluminum nipples (dt pro lock standard alu 2.0 / 12mm) as suggested by their. Galvanic corrosion may keep a nipple almost permanently “welded” to the spoke’s threads. Cracking of aluminum rims under tension at nipple holes can be accelerated by corrosion.
