Someone was doing new ones at £50 a piece at the bike bonanza at the weekend but that's probably not much help now.

ok, thanks all....

I'm building the wheels myself from existing hubs, so Superstar deals are not for me.

@reggiegasket - i'd looked at those but dont fancy proprietary 'squorz nipples'. If they used normal nipples i'd have got them already.

hmmmm.... might just have to put my hand in my pocket i suppose.

Ta anyway

Lard

You don't have to use those nipples. I'm now getting a pair of EX471's laced to my hope hubs - my wheel builder says the propriety nipples are shit and uses regular brass ones. Never had a problem.

Got mine back from my wheel builder (August Wheelworks), done with black brass nipples and they look great!

you can build the Ex471s with normal nipples lardman. As prezet has done, I run brass nips.

ok, thanks for the tips. It has made me decide to get the 471's, as they look the right balance of profile/weight/width for me.

Many thanks all....
