Question: Brass nipples

[Abbynorml]

I have a set of drop center rims with brass nipples. I'm trying to find out how old are they? do they still use/sell the brass nipples or are they no longer available?
Thanks in advance!

The two common materials used for spoke nipples these days are brass and aluminum. The hubs are probably a better indicator of age.

Most older chrome nipples are just plated brass. Gary

I thought this might have had something to do with the colder weather.... :lol: -Adam

aluminum nipples are horrible. always go with brass
