| This plastic tool is a combination spoke wrench, tire lever. This spoke wrench is the right size for the wheels on my main bicycle but would not be strong enough to turn the nipple. The spoke & nipple are made of different metals and they corrode at the interface. It takes a stout metal version (made by Park tools) to even try to rotate the nipple. Most likely, the nipple will break from the force & it will have to be drilled out... The people at Mavic were not thinking about long term durability or corrosion, it seems when they designed the wheel. |
