I have a loose spoke which is resisting my efforts to tighten it.
Everything is still in one piece in that the spoke is still hooked into the hub and still connected to the nipple, which is still in the outer part of the rim.
The problem is the nipple turns but does not tighten the spoke.
My knowledge of wheels is all but limited to the fact they are supposed to be round, but my guess is I have stripped thread, either on the spoke or the nipple.
Does that sound about right?
