Spoke wrench
Friday, June 26th, 2009
Spoke nipples are commonly T-shaped cross-sectional, with an inner thread running component of the direction through the hole that runs along the spoke nipple’s main axis. A spoke nipple stays in a hole drilled radially through the wheel’s rim, and the nipple is threaded onto the outer thread of a spoke. The spoke itself is rigid (fixed), at its other end, through a hole in the hub.
