When building or truing wheels I've always used a light machine oil on the spoke nipples. It came out of a bottle used for that and a couple other things.
The bottle doesn't have a label and I have no idea what it was - it just worked. There's none left.
Roger Musson says about using oil, but he doesn't appear to say what sort.
Anyone got any idea what the correct stuff is, or is a squirt of WD40 or 3 in 1 good enough?
Thanks. I have a rim to replace!
