Hi Folks A good thread here to ask a question, somewhat related. A coworker was lamenting that a spoke broke on his Campy Nucleon rear wheel. I suggested Gerd Schraner web pages for info on the wheel (2002 era). But I could not find a link to the darn web page. Only his book. Got link?
Based on grainy web photos, it looks like straight pull stainless steel spokes are used, and nipples are hidden in the rim. He did not have the wheel at work.
