Zipp Nipple Washers are a small but essential component for building and maintaining high-performance wheels. Designed to sit between the spoke nipple and the rim, these washers help distribute load more evenly across the nipple seat. This reduces localized stress on the rim, which can contribute to longer rim life and more consistent spoke tension over time. By improving the interface between nipple and rim, they can also make wheel builds more predictable and durable, especially on lightweight or high-end carbon rims where precision and protection are critical.
Ideal for wheel builders and riders who demand reliability, Zipp Nipple Washers are commonly used when lacing or re-lacing performance road, gravel, or triathlon wheels. They can help minimize the risk of nipple pull-through and reduce the chance of micro-cracking around spoke holes. Whether you are refreshing an existing Zipp wheelset or building a custom wheel with premium rims, adding nipple washers is a simple upgrade that supports long-term stability, consistent trueness, and confidence under hard accelerations, cornering loads, and rough road conditions.
