DT Swiss Pro Head Brass Nipples

E-bikes subject wheels to higher torque and heavier loads, which can fatigue standard aluminum components. The brass construction of these nipples offers superior durability and resistance to the increased stress typical of electric mountain bikes.

The Pro Head design features a spherical contact surface that allows the nipple to pivot slightly within the rim. This self-alignment is crucial for wheels with short spokes or high deflection angles, as it ensures the spoke pulls straight rather than bending at the nipple exit.

Yes, these nipples are designed specifically for standard 2.0mm spoke thread diameters. They are a direct fit for most standard-gauge spokes.

Absolutely. While they are optimized for the demands of e-bikes, their durability and self-aligning properties make them an excellent choice for any wheel build, particularly for riders who prioritize longevity and reliability over saving a few grams of weight.

This is a standard regulatory note. Because these components are made of brass, they are not approved for use in children's products in the USA due to specific material safety regulations.
