DT Swiss ProLock Squorx Nipples

The Squorx head features a dual-interface design that allows you to use both a standard spoke wrench on the sides and a Torx tool on the top. This makes it significantly easier to true and tension your wheels, especially when working with deep-section rims where access can be tight.

No, you do not. These nipples come with DT Swiss ProLock compound pre-applied to the threads, which automatically activates during installation to prevent the spokes from loosening over time.
