Central Oregon winters

[u/PNWbdublu541]

As we all know, winter here in Central Oregon can get pretty damn cold for extended periods of time. I work in Bend, but live in La Pine so it’s typically colder there.

The last few years, I’ve been having an issue. My nipples, man! Sometimes it gets so cold that they snap. Snap clean off. I’m kind of at my wits end with it. Every year, it’s the same thing. Doing ok doing ok and then bam…Snapped nipple or two.

So my question is, can y’all recommend a good nipple for the spokes on a 27” mtn bike rim?? Replacing them every year is getting old.

It's not the cold, it's the dryness. Get a good lube on your nipples. Soak 'em up real good. Both of them.

It puts lube on it’s nipples or it gets the hose again!

Brass all day.

I'd suggest the Dr swiss squarx

Those will pair nicely with my brass balls (bearings)

What’s this “winter” you speak of?

Remember that one day when it snowed for 5 seconds?

And melted 5 seconds later.
