I need some nipple help for a CB400F
« on: April 13, 2011, 06:21:38 PM »
Just joined the forums because I just purchased a CB400F off ebay. The bike had a messed up front rim, but luckily the PO had provided some rims that I could relace to fix the wheel. At any rate the rim came with spokes/nipples but I'm somehow missing one nipple!

I apparently can't post external links - these are the Thai wheels off ebay that fit the cb400F

I went all around today trying to find a nipple that would fit this spoke. The stock nipple doesn't fit the new spokes so those are definitely out. Has anyone ever delt with these before?

By my measurements from here:

It's a .250 / .790 nipple but I'm not sure what gauge. Does anyone know of a standard bike that matchese these? I know this is a bit obscure.

Edit: Pretty sure this is a 9 gauge spoke.

These captcha images are impossible to read!
