  • I use DT Swiss MMC titanium spokes with alu nipples. For preparation, I put Finish Line Ti prep on each of the spokes. I pulled up the spokes to the max tension for my rim 110kgf, measured by Park Tool TM-1 tension meter.

    Some says, titanium spokes should only be used with brass nipples. What's your opinion about it?
