Let me begin this again - the installed spokes stuck above the level of the top of the nipple. Since they were using that locking stuff, when you loosened the spoke up, it filled the hole with that gunk and even loosened you could not insert a spoke from the top side. And even after I cleaned the nipples to use a spoke to re-insert them it was really difficult to thread them in on a blind 2" deep hole with angular spoke pull. This sealant is used all over the place these days but you have to either be a manufacturer to get your hands on it or you use tire sealant since it has the same effect.
Why are you telling me about poor work practices? Why don't you tell the dozens of companies now in China doing that and selling you the same wheels as major American distributors for 1/3 the price how they don't know what they're doing even though companies like Zipp are selling these same products and the only difference is a Decal?
It is absolutely incredible that you don't know about stainless steel spokes and nipples! All you had to do was look it up. https://www.amazon.com/Bavel-Stainl...pID=51YwKGgBd9L&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
Since these are commonly used in strong wheels like MTB wheels and road wheels built for heavy riders and because the torque on these carbon wheels is through the ceiling I assumed that they would use steel since aluminum nipples don't get along well with the steel aero spokes used on all of these wheels. But do tell me about poor work practices.
Sorry chump - It wasn't spokes, it was nipples. The picture was of nipples. The description was nipples and the material was alloy steel - but that's too much for you. Apparently you've made it your life's work to try to prove that I'm wrong. Maybe you can catch me misspelling my name. Or maybe like PansyBob you can laugh that I had a riser stem while recovering from a crash. You two were made for each other. Why don't you drive over to his house and ride on his tandem. That will give him a chance to smell your butt.Forest Gump again you failed reading which is why you dropped out of high school and why you have no involvement with the sciences except for maybe growing your own weed. That Amazon site you gave has stainless steel spokes, but if you knew how to read it says with "copper nipples", by copper I am going to assume they meant to say brass because of the translation from Chinese to English is sometimes a bit rough.
Maybe you ought to argue with Contador that he showed you the same wheels he races on. You're doing a real job with the round red nose and the floppy shoes and calling someone else fat and slow after finishing next to last and a lap down in a race won by the Port Chop Eating Champion.Oh yeah...here's your idea of a tubeless clincher...
...that's actually a sew-up! LMAO. With a standard Presta valve with the typically applied anti-rattle tape.
Now, go argue with Contador that he's 'wrong'. You know what's best for him and the Roubaix tubular isn't a TT tire and he's gonna lose his TT...but, YOU'LL save the day for him! LOL!
Now you claim that they are fiberglas and not carbon fiber. You really are a worm aren't you? Does it make you feel good to lie simply to attack me?Now I remember!
You're the jerk that compared his power to George Hincapie's! Except you lied and claimed you could hold 600 Watts for an hour!
No wonder you're comparing your piece of **** fiberglass wheels to Campy Bora Ultra's!
Anyone want to start an office pool for the day 'Mr. 600 Watts!' tommy cracks up again and gives himself yet another serious brain injury?
Well, you won't have to worry about that yourself since all of your riding is in a video game that you don't seem to even understand the numbers about yourself.tommy, you stupid moron. Do you really think you bought Toraya/Torayca T-1000 carbon prepreg for you paltry two-fiddy?
If so, you're an even bigger moron than we give you credit for.
And no one gives two ***** what your name is or 'who' you are.
You're just an insane pathological liar to me. And I can't wait until you sail your retarded noggin over the bars again.
If my brain ceased working altogether I would have 100 times your IQ. Isn't it time you climbed on your video game and climbed l'Alpe d'Huez another 15 times and then brag about your climbing feet?Well, let us know the extent of your next brain injury...if you can tell if it makes you any dumber, asshole.
I know we'll not see any difference.
