Not nearly as exciting as it sounds i'm afraid.
I've got an old cyclo spoke key, the circle jobbo with notches. But it's coming to the end of it's life and starting to round off the nipples on the wheels i'm finally building. What size drivers in mm do the sapim polyax 14g 14 nipples take? I cannot seem to find it anywhere.

14g is 2.0mm
15g 1.8mm
However the nipple wil be wider, but that is what the spokes equate to.0 -
Park list the following for their keys:
SW-0 (Black) 80 ga./.127” nipple/3.23mm
SW-1 (Green) 80 ga./.130” nipple/3.30mm
SW-2 (Red) 80 ga./.136” nipple/3.45mm
SW-3 (Blue) 105 ga./.156” nipple/3.96mm0 -
Okay, informative but not up to your usual standard of helpful super :P
What size key do i need for the sapim nipples then? They are listed at 14g nipples. but that corresponds to a 14g internal size, so the spoke that fits them is 14g... Not very helpful for spoke key though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
Dunno haha!
Got any verniers?!0 -
3.4mm I think.
I use a Park Red on my 14g spokes.0 -
Fair enough!
I might take some spare nipples into work on monday and measure them up.0 -
try taking a nipple down to your LBS and try out their spoke keys for size?0
