This thread is going to be a lot less interesting than the title might suggest.
I've been building my own wheels for years, and have laced up 4 or 5 sets for myself. I've never broken a spoke on any of the wheels I built for myself. But in the last two rides I've been on, I've broken 3 FVCKING NIPPLES. At least two of them were directly caused by a stick going into my wheel, but still. It's really a PITA when you're running ghetto tubeless, and you need to take your tire off to replace the fvcking things.
