Description
Aluminum is the material of choice for higher performance. For this purpose, Sapim has chosen the highest aluminum grade possible, 7075 T6. It combines low weight, strength and corrosion resistance. The anodized surface treatment provides various color possibilities like silver, black, red, orange, gold, blue, green and purple. Sapim’s state-of-the-art manufacturing ensures the best quality available on the market.
PolyAx
The nipple head is working like a ball joint for a better spoke-nipple alignment.
Coating
Coating is applied on all aluminium nipples. The coating is applied on the thread and on the nipple. Friction between both spoke and nipple and rim and nipple is significantly reduced. Coating also seals the surface reducing corrosion. This is standard in Sapim’s production.
- Silent, effective truing with no more squeaks
- Virtually torsion free spokes
- High tension wheels without problems
- No over tight nipples on spoke threads
- No more oily and dirty wheels
- Just efficient dry working and clean hands
- No unnecessary cleaning
- Wheels are easier to true
Secure Lock
Highly precise and accurate punching machines are needed to form this type of locking system in order to achieve a stable and well defined deformation on the thread. Each nipple has an additional locking resistance of 18 +/- 3 cNm.
