Cracked Nipples Cause Big Problems

[@pallasathene8071]

Super interesting, never checkt my wheels on that. Do you grease the new nippel or do you put flax seed oil on the threads?

[@NorfolkCycleWorkshop]

I always use a grease with ptfe, never used linseed / flax oil so can't comment there. Maybe I should try it next time.
I know some people finish with Dt Swiss Spoke Freeze (these Hunts had it) I see it as a problem solver rather than something to use on new built.
