DT Swiss ProLock Nipple

The Pro Lock system features a pre-applied adhesive compound that prevents spokes from vibrating loose over time. This ensures your wheel maintains consistent tension, which is critical for long-term durability and performance.

These brass nipples are compatible with 14g spokes and are designed for a wide range of disciplines, including road, gravel, mountain, and e-bike wheels. Always verify your specific spoke gauge before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

Brass is significantly more durable and resistant to corrosion than aluminum, making it the preferred choice for riders who prioritize longevity and reliability. While slightly heavier, brass nipples are less prone to seizing or rounding off during maintenance.

No, you do not need to add any thread-locking compounds. The Pro Lock technology is pre-applied to the threads, which simplifies the wheel-building process and ensures the correct amount of locking agent is used every time.

The black finish is designed to be corrosion-resistant and durable enough for demanding riding conditions. While standard wear is expected, these nipples are built to withstand exposure to the elements better than standard untreated components.
