ENVE Composites Spoke Nipple

While these are designed specifically for the internal nipple system used on all ENVE rim models, they may not be compatible with rims from other manufacturers that use different spoke hole drilling or seating requirements. We recommend sticking to ENVE-specific applications to ensure proper fit and structural integrity.

Yes, because these are internal nipples, you will need an internal nipple wrench (specifically a 3.2mm size) to install and adjust them. Standard external spoke wrenches will not work.

Brass is significantly more durable and corrosion-resistant than alloy, making it the better choice for long-term reliability, especially in wet or harsh riding conditions. While they are slightly heavier than alloy, the trade-off is a much lower risk of nipple seizure or cracking over time.

The self-locking thread design adds a small amount of resistance to the spoke threads, which helps prevent the nipples from vibrating loose while you ride. It also provides a smoother, more consistent feel when you are tensioning the wheel during the build process.

Yes, these nipples are designed for standard 14-gauge (2.0mm) spokes with a 2.2mm x 56 tpi thread pitch, which is the industry standard for most high-performance wheel builds.
