Hmmm, how would I identify a SILS nipple? I did notice some little depressions on the sides of the nipple. Could that be a deformation to create the thread locking feature? That would make sense, and make me feel a bit dumbNovemberDave wrote: ↑Fri Apr 06, 2018 3:35 pmIf you got Secure Lock (or SILS) nipples, they will be quite hard to thread on by hand, and quite a bit easier to thread with a spoke wrench.
I guess I got thrown off a bit because the first nipple I pulled out would not even start on a spoke but the next three threaded on until about halfway. At that point I called them crap and gave up.
