Oh my god! Thats brutal! I have the same MTX but I haven't seen anything like that. I have lost only 2 nipples when I had a double track, but it was my fault... the dealer are foult between the nipples when I landed, and its came apart :S

Oh shit! are you all right?!?

It's the nipples, fuckin' dumbasses think that they can use alloy nipples on disc brake wheels, such is not the case. Make sure they re-lace it with brass nipples next time.

anodising has nothing to do with the strength of the nipples. the fact is that you should only use alloy nipples in rim brake cross country wheels.

The nipples are also annodised so that weakens them further.
