Take the 2-minute tour ×  So I have a wheelset that I really
like, only problem is the first time I rode the wheels a nipple
came off the spoke when I launched off a speed bump going
downhill. For a long time it was silent (the nipple must have
been stuck in some stan's or something) but recently its come
loose and rattles all over the place when braking. I am pretty
sure this is going to drive me crazy.  Looking for strategies
that people have found successful for getting a nipple out in
this situation. I figure if worst comes to worst I can take the
tire off, remove the valve core and put a dab of rubber cement
in the rim that will hopefully catch the nipple. But I'd like to
fish it out if I can.  share|improve this question my advice...
remove your seat post, pour a handful of loose ball bearings
into the seat tube, and replace the post. Then, put some
baseball cards in your spokes. You won't hear the nipple any
more. Otherwise, you'll have to remove the tire and rim strip
and fish that sucker out. Kind of
