Anyone have the nipples on their Outlaws shear or break?

I hang my bikes by the front wheel and I have had 2 nipples break on the front wheel. I don't really know if it was at the spot where the bike was hanging by the rim because I didn't think to look. I am assuming it was due to hanging the bike.

Kind of scary, should I be worried?

I have been riding the crap out of my azonic outlaws. I hang it by the front wheel as well. Never had a problem with them. I have noticed that they seem to get really tight on some spokes, which would be what happened to yours. The only reason I can think of for the nip shearing off is that there was a ridiculous amount of tension on it.

Shearing nipples!!! Will those outlaws stop at nothing!! This is just to much for me to handle today.

Alloy or brass nipples? Where are they shearing?

I can say one thing for sure, its not from hanging your bike.


Now I have the same question as Dustin.
