Does anybody have experience with DT Pro Lock nipples?

I use cat urine to lube my nipples.
Too late, SGD is good at that.D_D said:
It's for when you build the wheel as explained previously in the thread. Of course most of it is going to get washed off after a few dozen rides.Urban FR'er 666 said:
You want to reduce friction when building as you are going to be tightening at least 32 nipples. Why save a few seconds not doing it when it makes tightening the nipples easier?
Same reason you use oil/grease/spoke prep/etc. on the spoke threads. The easier it is to turn the nipple on the spoke threads the easier it is to get the spoke tight enough.
You guys must be wimps if you need oil to help you tighten brandnew nipples on brandnew spokes in brandnew rims, because I find them pretty damn easy to tighten, and pretty damn smooth w/o any oil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds to me like "OVER-OBSCESSIVE" dissorder!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow, just wow.
I vote it too, 'cuz thats just how damn dumb this site is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought this was a pretty cool site at first, but now I see it's nothing more than a bin full of rude-ass drug-addicts(hence all the pot threads and the drug-rehab link bottom right corner), with nothing better to do than sit around and insult people!
PHUCKING DISGUSTING P.O.S. SITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And now people know why I have a strong dislike for the words "urban" and "Freerider".
All you need is the word "grassroots" in your screen name and you will be 100% gooned out.
And for the 100th time-do not oil the threads jackoff...I will use loctite depending on time constraints and whose wheels they are.
This thread rules.

What a low-life, I have seen plenty of mis-spelled words on this site, but atleast I don't make the effort to point them out to make fun of people!
Just because something is mis-spelled, doesn't mean I don't realize it, it just means I don't care enough to correct it, just for the eyes of you pieces of SH!T!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can play the picture game too!!!!!!!!!
See ya soon, hope you enjoyed your stay.
And just what is that supposed to mean???
Hey transcend, here's a special one just for you!!!!!!!!
Means he's going to use his E* god powers and get you banned from the thread or site, don't sweat it. I honestly don't now how he's a mod/admin when 98% of his posts are smart ass remarks against someone, I beleive he thinks hes "witty".
Bwahahahahahahahaha.Urban FR'er 666 said:Hey transcend, here's a special one just for you!!!!!!!!

Bwahahahahahahaha.
Oh, That's ok, I allready sent the request form to the admins, to take my name off this P.O.S. site! I'm just haveing fun seeing where this goes untill the inevitable happens! I don't know what I was thinking when I joined this P.O.S. site! I guess I just thought it was another chance to sell stuff.
Hey transcend, you're such a F UCKING low-life, and you can:
Gee... This picture game is fun! I'm beginning to look like a transcend(or should I say low-life)!!!!!!

Why would I want to learn from a mechanic, that I disagree with, or a low-life asshole like transcend?!!! If you truely know it all, then I would agree with your answer(like that'll happen)!!!
Not that I want to get involved with a no-nothing internet loser (that is what I have TheMontashu for), but you were right.
You are not suppose to oil the threads, but you either misread the offending thread or it was not written clearly enough.
However, you have been a little girl about this whole thing, so buh-bye.

i wonder if Urban FR'er 666 has any friends. i mean, hes bitching about how the site sucks and how he hates this place and hes gonna leave so why doesnt he just leave? get a life douchebag.
Do you? why worry about what other people are worrying about?gnurider1080 said:

i'm his friend.
on another note, this thread is hilarious
Actually, yeah, I did. I snuck into the shop about 2 weeks ago at 3am and hit it really hard with a hammer. Then I took a torch to it so that the metal would warp and it wouldn't run smoothly. And to top it off, I put red loctite on all the moving parts, just to make sure you guys could never cut another spoke ever again! Muahahaha!sanjuro said:
Yeah, I'm here, but only for a couple days. Got into town late on Xmas eve, spent today w/ the family, going out of town to visit a friend for the next two days, then I'm heading back to SB on the 29th. Are you working on the 28th? If so, I'll stop by and bother you guys.sanjuro said:

So leave *shrugs* no loss to us.
This is a guy who builds wheels w/ oil and grease for myself and all my buds. YOU ARE WRONG, even w/ your "concept" of oil. They don't come loose when the wheel is properly tensioned. On my builds, they typically need one retensioning after the first ride and they're good for a VERY long time after (say about 4 years on a 36 hole rhyno lite in a 3x w/ alloy nips laced to an old Razor Rock 20mm front). The rear, laced to a Hayes/Hugi lasted the same amount of time before I retired it and relaced w/ a fresh rim because I was worried about fatigue since the rear sees more abuse than the front.Urban FR'er 666 said:
Suggestion, unless you can and do build and maintain your own equipement, don't comment on things that ppl are/have been doing for years, less others will take you as what you originally called Stix.
This should be applied to ALL matters in life, including the stuff you learn from books (yes, that means you should have some humility even with a graduate degree - altho if you did have a graduate degree, you would know this and we wouldn't be having this discussion). Theory and actual application are two VERY different things and experience will win 99% of the time.
hey there i will tell a little story about spoke prep and grease/oil. the first couple of wheel that i biuld i used grease on some and spoke prep on others.
spoke prep:
wheels would loss tenstion and spokes would break some times.
oil/grease:
oil on nipple rim interface
grease on spoke threads
they would loosen sometimes but not that much
then later i got the idea to make a stiffer wheel and started running much higher tenstion. before i was running about 85 on a tenstionometer and later i started running about the equivilent of 110 on the same meter. this is about 130 kg (it might be lbs. though) of tenstion on each spoke. this created a really stiff wheel that held true under some of the hardest beating (a lot of urban drops and one super hard square edge hit) that wheel lasted me for a long long time. that wheel was biult with oil and grease then later i though that i would biuld a very simular wheel with spoke prep and the wheel hard problem much the same as the past.
my conculsion use OIL AND GREASE!!!
the testion on the spokes will stop them from moving. every wheel i have biult this way for me and customers has held up very well through out time.

aye, if you got enough tension with oil/grease then they wont come loose, if theyre coming loose then its down to bad tensioning.
