I've got a HED jet 90 rear wheel with a couple of loose spokes. Problem is, they've also got alloy nipples which have fusted up and make it un-truable. It's not majorly out, but I figured that I may as well get it rebuilt with some brass nipples. Anyone know anyone who fixes them in the UK?

    Have you tried the uk HED office? They were great to deal with when I bought my wheels direct from them and I know they do repairs. Www.hedwheels.com

    Internal or external nipples?

    They're just the usual wheels - alu rim with a fairing on. I guess they're crosshead nipples in the rim if they're anything like my aeolus (basically Jet 50's with carbon rims)

    Basically just a PITA as you can't see the thread engaging the nipple... :evil:
