Sapim Nipple Freeze Compound - any good ?
Does anybody recommend using this when building a wheel or replacing
spokes ? "Sapim Nipple Freeze Compound Thread locking compound which helps prevent spokes vibrating loose. The thread lock also seals the spoke/nipple interface and protects against corrosion which could otherwise chemically weld the nipples and spokes together." |

not really necessary on ordinary spokes. primary application is on
straight-pull's.

Oil is the best for the threads and the nipple to rim interface. If you follow all the best practices nipples won't vibrate loose or chemically weld nipples and spokes together. -- |
