I have a pair of Mavic Carbone wheels 2003/2004 vintage and one needs a slight truing. The spokes have a hexagon shaped nipple. Can anyone tell me what size that nipple is so I can buy the appropriate deep socket for the task. Appreciate the feedback.

You will not be able to get a socket that is narrow enough to get down in the spoke hole. You need to get a 3/16th or 5mm thin walled nut driver. Here is one http://aebike.com/page.cfm?action=details&PageID=30&SKU=TL1840

The 14 year old just below my adult surface wants to make a joke of this thread title. But I'm above that as you can see.

When people ask me what I do for a living I tell them that I twist oily nipples all day.
