A nipple for spoked wheels of the tubeless type comprises a first and a second shoulder which are formed on a rod with a blind axial hole which is internally threaded at an end of the rod which is distal from the opening of the axial hole and in a zone of the rod which is proximal with respect to the opening, respectively. A first recess for a sealing ring is formed on the rod behind the first shoulder and at least a second recess for a second sealing ring is formed on the rod between the first recess and the second shoulder.

A wheel component for a wheel of an at least partially muscle-powered two-wheeled vehicle, including a rim provided to be connected with a hub by means of spokes, the rim including a rim base with a plurality of spoke socket sections having one spoke hole each, to which the spokes can be attached by means of spoke nipples. The wheel component includes at least one washer for placement between a spoke socket section and a spoke nipple. The washer includes a through hole extending between a top face and a bottom face. The rim base includes two opposite rim flanks extending obliquely relative to one another. In its bottom face, the washer shows a canted support flank at least in sections. The washer can be supported on the rim flanks by means of its support flank such that only the support flank bears against, and contacts, the rim.

A self-sealing automotive spoke wheel nipple includes a spoke nipple and an elastic gasket. The spoke nipple that mounts the spoke into the rim includes a rotational axis, a head, a shank, and a spoke-engaging opening. The head, the shank, and the spoke-engaging opening are concentrically positioned along the rotational axis. The head is adjacently connected to the shank. The spoke-engaging opening traverses into the shank, opposite of the head so that the spoke can be threadedly engaged to the spoke nipple. The elastic gasket is laterally positioned around a shoulder portion of the shank and positioned adjacently to the head. The elastic gasket creates a hermetic connection between the rim and the spoke nipple as the elastic gasket completely seals the spoke opening of the rim during the installation process.

An insert for the rim of a spoked bicycle wheel that has a spoke hole. The insert has a portion configured to abut against a spoke attachment element with an enlarged head and a holding element that prevents movement of the spoke attachment along said longitudinal axis of the spoke hole.
