PolyAxThe nipple head is working like a ball joint for a better spoke-nipple alignment. CoatingCoating is applied on all aluminium nipples. The coating is applied on the thread and on the nipple. Friction between both spoke and nipple and rim and nipple is significantly reduced. Coating also seals the surface reducing corrosion. This is standard in Sapim’s production.
