That's good to know. I have a bunch of spoke nipples around and was considering using them. Now, probably won't.

Wade,
This is OK, but from my bicycle building days, I seem to remember that these are threaded on the inside with fairly sharp edges that would be hard on strings. for a couple bucks you can have a supply of pop rivets that would do a score of builds...
the best,
Sam

If your looking for free, I've used the barrel type nut that holds old bicycle spokes to the rim.

clare... hold the rivet with a pair of pliers, slap the pin again a hard surface and it pops out. ... Sam

Hi Guys, how do you slap the middle out of the rivet?

pop rivet grommets... slap the middle out of the rivet and you have a 1/8" shank and a 1/4" cap. you can get pop rivet grommets in Alumimum, steel and chrome plated...
