ashaughnessy Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 If I want to get new bleed nipples for my standard front calipers (triumph spitfire type) what should I ask for in my local halfords? Metric/imperial? Coarse/fine thread? Long or short? Spigot-flanged / non-spigot-flanged ? You get the idea. I could just ask for nipples to suit a triumph spitfire but they might not know and I'd like to sound like I know what I'm talking about! Or maybe all bleed nipples are the same?

Graham Sewell Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 Or you could try Rimmer Brothers Low tech luddite - xflow and proud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morls Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 Oh...sorry... I arrived here by mistake after typing in "Nipples+flange" into a search engine smile.gif But seriously, Rimmers are good for the Triumph bits. I got angled nipples from them to make greasing simpler. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
