Never heard of them. What are "spline drive nipples?" Do they have splines instead of the standard 4-sided nipples? Where would you get a spoke wrench for that? Honestly, I've read a TON of biking stuff in the last few years, and I've never come across anything like that. Just curious...

www.bikepro.com

www.mtbr.com
under link to spokes spline drive had good reviews don't round off,didn't find a supplier yet, I would think any good wheel builder would be able to supply these nipples?Simon

bikepro.com's been out of business for years, so don't try to order from them...
Also, I believe spline drive is gone too, so whatever you find will probably be NOS.
