can't wait for the Park Tool SNCPC -1 (Spoke Nipple Clothes Pin Clamp) to release.
PRECIOUS!!! ❤️ Everything about it!!
Wish this had come out yesterday! I literally just replaced a broken spoke on my own yesterday for the first time.
I watch these videos more out of enjoyment than the need for learning and I’m just gonna say I sure hope park tool has made sure Calvin is more than prepared for retirement $. Great face for the company, great teacher and entertainer!
Great stuff here, yet again, as always. Thanks Calvin and to all those who make all these videos so awesome.
I tell my students: "If you're gonna work on your own bike, you're gonna get in over your head, and you're gonna break stuff. It's part of the process." Thanks, Calvin.
Awesome. I did this exact process a couple weeks ago. 🙌🙌
I use small alligator clip instead of a clothes pin. Mostly because ive got a truck load of them
Thanks! Calvin 🚲
Always great info thanks for sharing
Nice. I wished you would have posted this 4 years ago. 😊
Your videos are always so good thank you!
This is frigging genius and so satisfying.
Reminds me of challenging riddles that at first seem impossible. Great video.
Great ideas!!!
A magnet. And cheap carbon steel spokes. Ingenious!
good hack
To get nipples out of a rim, rather than just shake it, I bounce it on a square of thick rubber mat on the bench or the floor. Bounce, rotate a bit around the valve hole, bounce, repeat.
Like goddamn magic.
Bike repair shops hate this trick! 🤣
Thanks for the video, Any deals available on the MK16 kit? 😅 I'm sure if I did this trick at work the mechanic would just tell me to take the rim tape off hah
Bonjour Calvin , je ne connaissais pas ce travail , on apprend tous les jours ~(la musique made in New-York est Super) 🎷😁
Hi sir, I have a bicycle with a rusty and hard bolt so what should I do to get the bolt to come off
Lubricate the bolts with a penetrating oil and let them sit. Once given adequate time to sit you will need a wrench that will offer a decent amount of leverage to remove.
At 1:11, the new spoke is unthreaded. So (since Park doesn't sell one), do y'all use a Phil Wood, Morizumi, or Hozan threading tool? Or something more obscure?
good catch, I'm wondering the same
Awesome concept I never considered before! But -- how did you get the valve stem out without breaking the rim tape? 🤔
The tape of first broken by the valve when it is installed. Carefully work it out of the rim. It should not disturb the tape.
Calvin - you're a real one fr but I'm never gonna use this one haha. It's gonna be faster for me to just do fresh rim tape. Stay grindin and stay greasy big homie
👍
Any tips for replacing a nipple that has fractured into two pieces? I have a wheel where the nipple has cracked into two with one half being the bit that a spoke wrench would attach to and the other end is just the round bit that sits in the wheel.
I tried screwing it out with a modified screwdriver (a flat head with a notch in it to accommodate for the spoke poking out the end) from the outside, but didn't get it to move. I'm wondering if an impact driver could do the trick or would you say it's too violent on a road bike wheel?
Just cut the spoke and use the spoke to remove the nipple (assuming it's not a "blind access" rim as shown in this video).
Cut the attached spoke and replace that too, rather than going through gymnastics to try and unthread it from the nipple.
As always 😂 great video! I recently used some gorrila tape for a wheel set I got off eBay I am really happy with it all 😅
Please come back and reply to this comment in 6 months when you realise what a shitty idea it was :) Real tubeless tape is cheap, there's no reason not to use it.
who said my rims were tubeless set up?, I know what you mean I have tried the same with masking tape using a few roles-the result was snake bike punctures and all sorts!, I am hoping gorilla tape is better the rim is double walled so no nipples pressing and the gorrila tape is thick but not like supper glue more like electrical tape

Can you do this with aluminium alloy nipples , as steel ones rust all the time . A relative lives near a beach .
As long as the small section of spoke you thread into the nipple is carbon steel it does not matter the nipple material.
Hey, quick question, I broke a nipple on my bike wheel, but the spoke is still ok. Can I change the nipple without removing the rim tape?
Yes, when the rim is deep like this one was. Shake out the old pieces first.
You can save so much rotating mass if you just remove the spokes altogether.
My spokes always break at the other end. I finally just replaced the rim with better quantity and spokes. 😅
What I did not understand is where did the old spoke nipple come out?
Through the valve hole.
I'd like to know how long Calvin had to jiggle the rim to get it out! : )

We call it spokey action at a distance.
With apologies to far greater minds than ours.
3 mins video with 3 hours of shaking and swearing!
my rim tape can be removed and reinstalled without damage
Put a 2mm hole in the rim tape and stop wasting your day with magnets and clothes pegs
build a new bike is easy, maintain a used bike takes time
What if the nipple was aluminum, then magnets wouldn’t work?
how about rims with built in spoke mounts so no more rim tape
Would be nice but would be a pain in the ass to manufacture and would probably result in weak points at every nipple mount. Also there'd be no spoke tension tuneability
@@S1MediaHQ im thinking they spin so we can tune spokes
calvin, you should ride bike more(in high load range), i did not watch you for long time(or newer videos) and now i saw this , you should rest from work and enjoy in recreation
Great tip, too bad this wont work with brass nipples. 😭
Of course it does. The magnet works with the carbon spoke stud threaded into the nipple, aluminum or brass.
@@parktool oh very cool. I misunderstood that. I have the IR 1.2. I'll have to try it out
