Just took the front tyres off to replace with new Blockleys. On inspection I find the spoke nipples have cut in to the inner tube quite deeply in places. It seems to be every other spoke - the ones which terminate on the inboard end of the hub. The nipples are not damaged or sharp but they do protrude a bit. Both Blockley and Motor wheel services say the nipples should be covered by the tyre bead but they are obviously not. Best suggestion so far is duct tape over the nipples which sounds like a bit of a bodge. Anybody got a better idea?
