Yep, not spoke but the head snapped off the nipple, looks like its been failing for a while as well judging by the clean and dirty parts on the face of the break, daughters picked me up a nipple from one of the LBS for a princley 15p so not to bad!

    Spoke hanging out with half a nipple left on it.......not much need for photo's!

    Replaced with one the daughter got for me (10p in the end), sorted! not heard of nipples snapping before to be honest!
