spoke nipples

[BrianTaylor]

I have disassembled my front and rear spokes from my 74 sd...the nipples are very rusted and i am thinking of replacing them new instead of trying to clean them up. my question is are  the nipples standard with say Japaneese brands or do i have to hunt for penton/ktm replacements... thks bt

I bought mine from Al B. The cost was very reasonable

Walridge was excellent and about 1/3 the cost of the other guy!  Send them an example of what you need and they can have it made.
