Hi, so front wheel a fair bit wonky and so thought I'd tweak my nipples a bit. A few of the nipples are kaput so going to replace but any brands, types to avoid? Think I can work everything else out - front wheel so all same length, yeah? - just want to avoid any brands that are problematic without costing the earth.

Ta.

DT brass. No reason to buy anything else IMO.

Yup. Sapim ones are fine too tbh. But brass, is the main thing.

Also worth checking if your spokes are the correct length to start with, if they've been built a touch short (not uncommon on some factory builds), then you may help matters by using slightly longer nipples. Most importantly though, make sure they're the correct diameter, no point in getting 2mm if your spokes are 1.8mm, or vice-versa.
