Brass is the durable, go-to nipple material for most wheel builds - heavier than alloy but far more resistant to corrosion and thread wear. Pillar's brass range covers 14G and 13G, several nipple types and two finishes.

Compatibility & fit

Match the gauge to your spoke (14G or 13G) and the nipple type to how your rim takes it - the Reduction type adapts a 13G-threaded spoke to a standard 14G rim hole. Hex Locking and Square Drive types need their matching Pillar wrench, not a standard spoke key. Tune's wheel-building service can confirm which nipple suits your build.

Options

Nipple type, thread lock, length and pack size vary by colour and gauge - check the option before ordering.
