Wheel spoke nipples Cn Spoke AN16 16 mm aluminium red — pack 144 pcs

Cn Spoke AN16 are 16 mm aluminium spoke nipples in red, supplied as a set of 144 pieces. They are designed for bicycle wheel assembly and maintenance where a 16 mm seat length is required. Made of lightweight aluminium, these spoke nipples provide basic corrosion resistance and reduce rotating mass compared with heavier materials. The red finish is suitable for visual customization of rims and spokes while keeping standard compatibility with common spoke threads used in bicycle wheel building.

Advantages

These aluminium spoke nipples combine lightweight construction with sufficient strength for most road, city, and light off-road wheels. The consistent 16 mm seat length ensures predictable spoke tension and easier wheel truing during assembly or repair. The red anodized finish resists surface corrosion and provides a uniform appearance for matched builds. Supplied in a bulk pack of 144 pieces, they are convenient for full wheel sets and workshop stock, reducing the need for frequent reorders.

Suitable for

• Bicycle wheel building and re-lacing
• Replacing damaged or corroded spoke nipples
• Wheel truing and tension adjustments
• Custom builds where colored nipples are desired

Key specifications

• Material: aluminium
• Seat length: 16 mm
• Color: red (anodized finish)
• Quantity: 144 pieces per pack
• Intended use: spoke nipples for standard bicycle spoke threads

How to use

Select the Cn Spoke AN16 nipples when assembling or repairing wheels that require a 16 mm nipple seat length. Fit nipples onto spokes by threading them onto the spoke threads and start by hand to avoid cross-threading. Use a proper spoke wrench to gradually bring spokes up to approximate tension, then true the wheel on a stand or in a frame by alternately tightening and loosening spokes to achieve even spoke tension and a straight rim. Inspect for proper engagement of threads and ensure nipples sit flush in the rim or nipple holes as appropriate for the rim design.

Usage recommendations

For long-term performance, ensure nipples and spokes are clean and free of debris before assembly. Apply a small amount of anti-seize or spoke prep at the threads if working in wet or coastal conditions to improve corrosion protection and ease future adjustments. Use compatible spoke lengths and rims that accept externally or internally mounted nipples as required by your wheel design.
