Sapim Polyax Brass Double Square Secure Lock Spoke Nipple – 16 mm 14G

Sapim Polyax brass nipple for bicycle wheelbuilding

The Sapim Polyax Brass Double Square Secure Lock 16 mm 14G is a spoke nipple intended for bicycle wheel assembly, repair and maintenance.

This particular version combines several clearly identified Sapim specifications: Polyax, Double Square, Secure Lock, brass construction, 16 mm length and 14G format.

It is therefore important to distinguish it from other Sapim nipple versions when selecting components for a wheel build.

Brass construction

This version of the Sapim Polyax nipple is made from brass.

Nipple material is an important specification when selecting wheelbuilding components, particularly when replacing existing nipples or defining the components of a new wheel.

Polyax design

The nipple belongs to Sapim's Polyax range.

For wheelbuilders already working with a specific Sapim configuration, this designation makes it easier to identify the required nipple and avoid confusion with other nipple designs.

Double Square version

This model features Sapim's Double Square specification.

Because nipple design influences the tools and procedures used during wheelbuilding, the exact version should be checked before ordering, particularly when the nipple is intended as a replacement component.

Secure Lock specification

This nipple is also identified as a Secure Lock version.

This specification is part of the exact product configuration and should be taken into account when matching replacement nipples or preparing the components required for a new wheel build.

16 mm – 14G configuration

The nipple is supplied in a 16 mm version with a 14G specification.

Both dimensions are important product identifiers and should be checked against the spoke and wheelbuilding configuration before purchase.

If you are unsure whether this nipple corresponds to your existing wheel or planned build, contact SH Race before ordering.

For wheelbuilding and wheel maintenance

This Sapim nipple can be selected as an individual wheelbuilding component for a new assembly or when servicing an existing bicycle wheel.

For replacement work, SH Race recommends identifying the existing spoke and nipple configuration before ordering rather than selecting a nipple solely by appearance.
