Replace a spoke without tyre removal with this 3d printed tool
Спорт
If you need to replace a broken spoke, but not the nipple, you either need to remove the tyre and/or insert, or risk the nipple falling into the rim - it’s a fiddly and frustrating job. I couldn't find a good tool for this job so I’ve made one and now it's a super easy job.
Let me show you how it works, how I designed it, and how you can get one for yourself.

Awesome, I've struggled with loosing nipples inside the rim. After it happened twice (?) I seem to finally remember the memo and take measures to loose it, which saves me half an hour or so. Now I can change spokes faster then the time it would take me to get to my bike shop and have them replace it :-)
Looks like a nice upgrade from the wooden cloths peg!
I like it. But whenever I've broken a spoke, the nipple side rockets upward and punctures the tubeless tape, instantly flatting my tire. So that's a whole disassembly job.
Great stuff, my dude.
Genius idea!
I've been using a thin strip of duct tape on these jobs for decades with success. That said, I'll absolutely buy one of these.

A zip-tie or tape works fine but you'll notice that it's much easier to tighten the nipple onto the new spoke with this
My spokes always brake off in the nipple rendering a tool like this useless.

You should go watch our other video on why spokes break ;-) kzread.info/dash/bejne/eICrw6aRlZCXhZs.html
Maybe contact Abbey Tools or BSC to see if they can produce a metal version?

I think 3D-printed plastic works just fine, it doesn't scratch rims too.
It looks good, where I can buy it?
