Sapim

Double Square Alloy Nipple, 14g/16mm, Black, 100/Ct

Sapim Double Square Alloy Nipple set for wheel builds and rebuilds where low weight, consistent spoke tension, and long-term stability matter. These 14g / 16mm nipples use Sapim’s Double Square drive so a wheel can be trued with either an internal or external wrench, improving access in tight rim beds and helping reduce rounding during service. Built from 7075-T6 aluminum with a special surface and thread coating to reduce corrosion risk and lower friction at the spoke/nipple and nipple/rim interfaces for smoother, more predictable tensioning.

• 14g compatibility - Designed for standard 14 gauge spokes for straightforward sourcing and wheel service
• 16mm nipple length - Adds engagement depth for secure builds, especially with deeper rims or longer thread exposure
• Double Square drive - Supports truing and tensioning with internal or external wrenches for better tool access and durability during adjustments
• Polyax head design - Ball-joint style interface helps the nipple self-align at the rim for improved spoke line and reduced localized stress
• 7075-T6 aluminum with coated threads/surface - Keeps weight down while helping reduce corrosion and friction for more consistent spoke tension
• Secure Lock - Mechanical anti-loosening feature to help nipples stay put without relying on threadlock compounds
• Black finish, 100 count - Practical bulk quantity for complete wheel builds with a clean, understated look
