Maintain your wheel’s integrity and reliability with genuine Tern Verge spoke nipples, a high-quality replacement designed to fit the Kinetix Pro wheels equipped on Verge X10, X20, and X30H models.
-
Size & Fit
These spoke nipples are crafted to match Tern’s paired-spoke wheel builds—typically featuring 20-hole rims with paired spoke lacing. The exact diameter and threading are engineered to fit perfectly with Tern’s proprietary rim and hub systems. -
Material & Finish
Made from stainless steel or anodised brass, these nipples resist corrosion and rust—even in Malaysia’s humid or coastal environments—ensuring long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance. -
Weight & Durability
Lightweight by design (typically under 0.8 g per nipple), they add negligible mass to the wheel while providing strong, durable connections capable of handling daily commuting or long-distance folding-bike usage.
Usage & Installation Instructions
-
Replacement Steps
When replacing a nipple, use a proper spoke wrench matching the nipple’s size (usually 3.23 mm). Unscrew the old nipple, insert a new one into the rim, and tension the spoke gradually to match the wheel’s true. -
Truing & Tensioning
After replacing, re-tension the spoke according to wheel build standards—typically with wheel truing measured in millimetres of lateral and radial alignment. Check using a truing stand or brake pad as a reference. -
Regular Checks
Inspect spoke nipples during routine maintenance. If you notice rust, stripping, or looseness, replace with genuine Tern nipples to maintain hub and rim integrity.
Precautions
-
Use Genuine Parts
Only use official Tern Verge X-series nipples. Non-compatible replacements may have differing thread pitch or head design, potentially damaging the rim or compromising wheel strength. -
Avoid Over-Tightening
When tensioning spokes, tighten incrementally and evenly to avoid lacing issues or dishing errors. Over-tightening can lead to broken spokes or rim warping. -
Handle with Care
Corrosion-resistant is not corrosion-proof—keep your wheels clean, especially after rainy rides or coastal commutes, and dry them promptly to preserve nipple longevity.
