I wore out my nipple-fitting cocktail stick! It's been with me since the first wheel I ever built. Rest easy, my brother
Don't worry too much as they tend to come in packs of 50.
I prefer a cotton bud.
Yep, angle cut cotton bud stem for me.
Tragedy rather than disaster - RIP cocktail stick.
I've got a spare somewhere in the garage, email in profile
found it !
(as you can see it also offers some protection against alien lizard overlord brainwashing)
I always took you for a cocktail kind of guy NW.
Not using a cut down spoke? Heretic! Burn him.

Yes but that was in 2011! I've used the rest of the packet up!

Best way to fit them, been doing this way for years, cocktail sticks are for sausages or cheese and pineapple chunks

was it for cheese and pineapple hedgehogs?
I was thinking about building my first wheel, is it always so tough?
Rest easy, my brother
Needs a Viking cocktail stick funeral. Despatching him to Valhalla is the least you can do.
Actual serious response- why cut down spokes? I tried that but it's miles more faff with threading, and you can't use them as easily to spin nipples off either (because they unthread). And a cocktail stick is one size fits all too
Am I missing something with how people use them?
