I took the bait and clicked on Neuvation's ad banner to take a gander at their wheels, and was pretty impressed. While reading about the production method, I noticed that they use Loctite on their spoke nipples.
I subscribe to the theory that if a wheelset is built correctly, there's no need for Loctite. When building my mt. bike's rear wheel, I used anti-sieze compound. Things happen sometimes and a wheel will get out of true, and I would hate to not be able to true them back up.
What are your all's thoughts on this? Would I be able to true these, or would the nipples be pretty well locked in place? I might email Neuvation's owner to get his opinion, but it doesn't hurt to have more than one.
Thanks,
Brian
