DT Swiss Pro Head Spoke Nipples

The Pro Head design features a spherical contact surface that allows the nipple to pivot and align itself with the spoke angle. This is particularly beneficial for wheel builds with high-angle deflections, as it reduces stress on the spoke and nipple interface, leading to a more durable wheel.

These nipples are designed for a 2.34 mm spoke thread diameter. Please verify your spoke gauge before purchasing to ensure compatibility with your specific wheel build.

While they are optimized for the higher torque and stress loads of e-bike applications, they are excellent for any wheel build where spoke angle is a concern. If you are building a wheel with a high-flange hub or specific rim geometry that creates sharp spoke angles, these are a great choice.

Brass is the industry standard for durability and reliability. It is highly resistant to corrosion and less prone to seizing over time compared to aluminum, making it the preferred material for long-term wheel maintenance and heavy-duty use.

No, they install using standard nipple wrenches. However, because of the spherical head design, ensure your wrench fits securely to avoid rounding the nipple flats during tensioning.
