you do have to use the torque nipples but the rims come with them and the right spoke key

fcuk...mines didnt come with any......that means that ridethis.com screwed me, this shit aint right

you have to order them its not ridethis.com's fault you failed to read about your rim

There are 2 versions of the pimplite. One is drilled for the torque nipples, and one is drilled for standard nipples. You have to buy the torque nipple seperate from the rim.

^^^^ I'm not sure. Your best bet would be to call your atomlab distributor and ask them. That's how I found out about the pimplites.

Did you try and search this? Rolleyes There are tons of threads about this already. The most common answer is pimplites or MTX. I have pimplites but i'm always truing the rear one.

how is 24" not proper mtb? tons of companies make 24" wheels and frames, so they obviosly are. doesnt matter what wheel size you have, 24,26,29 is all mtb

why use a less practical wheel size because of the trend. 26" is noob for trails and if you think otherwise the youre kidding yourself
