need help torquing my nipples down
Hey all-
So I need some help with the ole nipple torquing
I am relacing a
front wheel and I was wondering what is the proper procedure and
equipment for this operation.... I just ordered a set of Buchanan 9
guage SS spokes and nipples (to be here in a week or so), so I have some
time to get the necessary tools together. I have done bicycle wheels
before, but I am feeling a bit more intimidated by the motorcycle rims
as I don't want to think about a bad lacing job at 90 mph. So all you
who have redone their wheels, what's the procedure and any advice for a
novice? Any one have spoke/truing tools that they'd be able to lend me?
Thanks!!

first, if you want to torque your nipples right, you must dress in black
leather bondage gear, with plenty of chains and zippers. then, hire a
dominatrix to torque away!!

need help torquing my nipples down
Zack, this guy know all about nipple torque values... (I thought you all
might get a laugh - but, you have to be the type to have understood and
laughed at Far Side cartoons, I think.)

One should never torque one's own nipples under any circumstances.
Always torque the nipples of your SO and have your SO torque yours.
Be gentle and watch out for any attachments and mods such as jewelry
as impropper torquing could prevent further torque checking in the
future.

I had the same question and found the answer in the archives.
Rustoleum Industrial Aluminum is close enough to paint my side racks and
look acceptable. The # on the can is V2115 Silver Aluminum, this is the
"Hard Hat" series of paint.
