Great pictures. Presumably the point of the "integrated nipple" is so they don't have to make holes in the inner-wall? Still, not much fun if you ring the soft aluminium threads off one of them by overtightening the spoke. |

Check. inability to follow instruction Yup, I have that inability. is hardly a design flaw. I didn't say it was. Actually IIRC these wheels have aluminium spokes too so it's not clear whether the rim threads would strip before the ones on the end of the spoke. |

Still, not much fun if you ring the soft aluminium threads off one of them by overtightening the spoke. http://www.mavic.com/road/technologies/Fore.3335.aspx "One wall of the rim is drilled with a tapered point with carbide that heats the alloy, and pushes it inside the rim. It creates a chimney that can then be threaded. The integrated M7 nipple can be screwed directly into this thread. _The rim is stiffer, which provides a better power transmission _The rim has better fatigue resistance (4 times stronger) _On MTB wheels, this makes the rim airtight for UST tubeless compatibility " |

I was just starting to wonder how they screwed in to those threaded sections in the rim-- I thought perhaps the whole spoke rotated (and was straight-pull). But that would be no good since they are aero spokes. |
