mrrabbit, you know that it is impossible to get nipples from FSA, and that is obviously why you hold on to the few that you have like gold.

Andy, I hope you feel better after your rant. I didn't go out and choose to purchase an FSA wheelset and I also didn't take it in and blame a mechanic for being lazy or corrupt, rather it came on my used TT bike, and if possible, would like to find a few nipples so that I don't have to trash an otherwise decent wheel. I do agree that after this experience I will be very careful when selecting wheels to purchase.

To continue on ranting I have an old Schwinn that I would like to replace the BB, but I can't get the old Suntour BB out because it needs a special tool to remove the internally splined cups.
