No, all spoke nipples are not the same size. There are various sizes depending on the size of the spoke and the size of the hub. The most common sizes are 3.22mm and 3.30mm.
No, spoke nipples are not reverse threaded. The threads on spoke nipples are meant to be tightened in a clockwise direction.
If you have a broken spoke, you can still ride your bike, but it's not going to be a very enjoyable experience. The spoke will cause the wheel to be out of true, which will make it very difficult to ride in a straight line. Additionally, the broken spoke will put extra stress on the other spokes, which could cause them to break as well. So while you can technically ride with a broken spoke, it's not something that we would recommend.
If you have a broken spoke, you can replace it without removing the tire. You will need a replacement spoke and a spoke wrench. First, remove the broken spoke from the wheel. Then, thread the new spoke through the wheel, making sure that the spoke crosses the other spokes in the same pattern as the other spokes. Finally, use the spoke wrench to tighten the new spoke in place.

Brass Nipples 12mm
$234
On my 2014 Specialized stump jumper, which had alloy nipples, I would occasionally fail one or two. After doing some study, I came to the conclusion that brass nipples are the best for use with MTB wheels. Brass has more flexibility than the alloy, which can be either hard or brittle. I replaced my wheels with these because I got tired of replacing one or two at a time after each ride, and I haven't experienced a failure since.

This is at least my fifth box of DT Swiss brass nipples from Amazon, if not more.From 20" folding bike road wheels to 29" cargo bike wheels and everything in between, I've constructed a variety of wheels using these.When I build using a 4-sided Spokey and anti-sieze, the nipples are neatly threaded, have no slop, don't round out, and tension up perfectly.But every box I receive misspells "nipple," leaving me to wonder if it's a fake or the genuine article from DT-Swiss.They haven't let me down, so it doesn't really matter.

Excellent approach to add highlights when working parts are replaced. Since cable ends are necessary to prevent your wires from unraveling, why not upgrade your bike's highlights when you change them? Given their low cost and high quality, VTurboWay 8 Color 80 PCS, Cable End Crimps/Caps are a fantastic option for this. The only difference between these and the stock cable ends that came with my MTB is color.

I went to a nearby bike shop and asked for 2 different lengths of spokes, which I returned. Both were too lengthy and short. Here, I discovered the exact length I required. He was about to charge me $1 at the store, but he spoke up and said he was giving me a break. I paid almost half as much here as I would have at the bike shop for 50 spokes. These spokes are of excellent quality and appearance, and they will strengthen and improve the appearance of any bicycle wheel. Although delivery took some time, the quality is excellent. From now on, I'll only use Wheelsmith components to build my wheels. Don't look elsewhere...

Squorx Nipple Drivers
$234
Very expensive and intrusive proprietary. Having said that, yeah, this device sure makes making wheels easy. a 4 sided spoke key is significantly slower than an extremely quick key. The spoke's angle of departure from the rim is irrelevant because you can tighten it from outside the rim. When making a wheel, "slotted" or "flat head" spokes are head and shoulders superior. When I build a wheel with aluminium spokes, I frequently find that by the time I'm done, I've already slightly worn the nipple just from building the wheel before I even ride the thing.Now that squorx is available, all spoke tightening and truing can be done from outside the rim.

The less weight near the rim, the less energy is needed to start the wheels spinning. You may travel farther while using less energy by simply using aluminum spoke nipples. The DT website states that each of its brass spoke nipples weighs 1g. Each of the aluminum spoke nipples weighs.31g. Using aluminum spoke nipples alone reduces the weight of a 32-spoke wheel by 9.92g. I advise using Nylon M4 Insulation Washer 4mm X 9mm X 1mm Thickness Pack of 100 so they spin easily and a Park Tool SW-40 Four Sided Spoke Wrench for Nipples of 127- Inch because they are softer and have a greater coefficient of friction thus are harder to turn. The only issue is that spoke nipples made of aluminum are frequently pricey. These cost 12 euros each, although they would normally cost 60 euros. If you use these, be sure the spoke extends all the way to the nipple's end; otherwise, the aluminum nipple will break on its own.

My knowledge tells me that DT Swiss is the company to beat when it comes to bicycle wheel components. Although the black finish on these nipples is just "very nice," I have never seen it be "perfect." I probably won't rebuild the wheels I have just to replace the nipples that came with them, but I purchased them as replacements after three nipples sheared off at the wheel. The three I replaced will not suffer a similar failure, I'm sure of it. FWIW, the only nipples I could find nearby were 12mm.
If your wheel is damaged and the spoke nipples are bent or broken, you will need to replace them. You can purchase new spoke nipples at most bike shops. To replace the spoke nipple, first remove the damaged spoke nipple from the wheel. Then, thread the new spoke nipple onto the spoke. Finally, use a spoke wrench to tighten the new spoke nipple in place.
There are a few ways to determine the size of your spokes. You can measure the diameter of the spoke with a caliper or ruler, or you can look up the size in a spoke size chart. You can also take a spoke to a local bike shop and they can help you determine the size.
If you can't remember the last time you checked your bicycle's spokes, it's probably time to give them a once-over. Here are a few tips on how to tell if your spokes are tight enough: 1. The easiest way to check is by sight. Spokes should appear uniform in tension and not sagging. 2. Another way to check is by plucking the spokes like a guitar string. They should all give off a similar tone. 3. If you have a spoke wrench, you can use it to check for spoke tension. All
The strongest spokes are usually made from steel or titanium. They are thicker and stronger than other types of spokes, and can withstand more force before breaking. This makes them ideal for use in spoke wheels, where the spokes are under a lot of tension.
A 9 gauge spoke is 2.34 mm in diameter.
13G spokes are the thickest and strongest type of spoke available. They are typically used on BMX bikes and mountain bikes that see a lot of abuse. These spokes can take a beating and will not bend or break as easily as thinner spokes.
