Skoze Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Just make time to deflate the tyre, move that and the inner tube across, lift the rim tape and take it out?Do you want to replace the spoke or just get rid of the nipple?

gee Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 the only possible way to true a rim without replacing the nipples is hitting it with hammer. wouldn't recommend it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 You can sometimes get enough grip on it to turn it with a pair of pliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
