I acquired a wheel with a mavic open pro rim, DA7700 front hub, wheelsmith 14/17/14 spokes and
aluminum nipples. Some of the nipples were cracked, I replaced them but several nipples are frozen
solid. You can turn them and see the spoke winding up - not good. I tried spraying in tri-flow and
similiar materials but nothing. Do I have to cut the frozen spokes out and replace or is there
something I can put on the nipples to loosen them? thanks to all and I'm not an ace wheel builder or
repair person.
