Spoke Nipple Cn Spoke AN12 12 mm aluminium silver set 144 pcs

Cn Spoke AN12 is a set of 144 aluminium spoke nipples, each 12 mm long and finished in silver. Designed for bicycle wheel building and repair, these lightweight aluminium nipples secure the spoke ends to the rim and allow for precise tension adjustments. The 12 mm length is suited for rims and spoke combinations that require shorter nipples, and the aluminium construction reduces weight while providing corrosion resistance compared with untreated steel.

Advantages

These aluminium spoke nipples offer a balance of low weight and adequate strength for road and many off-road wheel builds. The consistent 12 mm length across the 144-piece set simplifies inventory for multi-wheel projects and repairs. The silver finish provides a neutral appearance that matches most rims and reduces visible oxidation. Manufactured to provide uniform threading and head geometry, they enable reliable spoke engagement and smoother wheel truing.

Suitable for

• Assembling new bicycle wheels that require 12 mm nipple length
• Replacing worn or corroded nipples on road and mountain bike wheels
• Small workshop stock for wheelbuilding and maintenance tasks
• Projects where lower rotating weight is preferred

Key specifications

• Material: aluminium
• Length: 12 mm
• Finish: silver
• Quantity: 144 pieces per set
• Function: standard spoke nipple for rim-spoke connection and tensioning

How to use

Install the nipples by threading them onto the spoke ends and seating them into the rim’s spoke holes. Use an appropriate spoke wrench sized for the nipple head to turn and adjust spoke tension gradually while building or truing the wheel. Ensure threads are clean and, if desired, apply a small amount of spoke prep or light lubricant to the threads to reduce friction and prevent seizing. Check spoke tension and wheel dish during and after installation to achieve an even, true wheel.

Usage recommendations

For best results, pair aluminium nipples with compatible spoke materials and rims. Avoid over-tightening to prevent thread stripping; periodically inspect nipple condition and replace any that show signs of rounding or corrosion. If frequent heavy-duty use or maximum corrosion resistance is required, consider choosing brass or anodised aluminium nipples where appropriate.
