Hi all,
I am in a position where I need to rebuild a pair of 1200 Stelvio NTX wheels. My plan is to remove the pikes and nipples and have them re-chromed. I then need to replace the O rings and C clips. I have found the size specifications of the O rings but not the material spec. I have not been able to find any information regarding the C clips. Does anyone know if I should use Nitrile or Viton O rings? If so please share the info with me. Also, can the C clips be removed and re-used? If not can they be purchased from other sources rather than Piaggio? It doesn’t appear to me that these C clips only retain the nipple and O ring into the rim prior to installing the spoke. Any advice, experience, or comment would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Phil
