Out of curiosity, was his dislike the specific alloy nipples used, or the fact that they were alloy and not brass? Does LB have a brass option? Just wondering if going alloy instead of brass means avoiding rain at all costs (i.e., half the year in the PNW), or expecting to replace them every couple years.
