Help, cannot find 11 g size nipples for AJS wheels
Hi All!
Hope anyone here can help me out. I have been trying to find some new spoke nipples for my AJS 16M wheels.
Going through the parts list it shows that two different sizes of spoke diameter is indeed correct, 11g and 10g.
The 10g nipples are not a problem to find, however the 11g cannot be supplied from anyone it seems.
I have found some bicycle spoke nipples but I suppose their strength are not comparable to a motorcycle nipple??!!
Hope that I can keep the original spokes and someone knows where I could find some new nipples?
Thanks.

Hi Mick,
I have looked at their website and they are also saying they only do up to 10g...
Seems I will have to swap the 11G spokes to 10G.

7 days of this lock down, my brain has gone to mush. I cant work anything out. I was really brainy before this virus kicked off!
