I bought this rim: https://www.dtswiss.com/en/component...d/gravel/g-540 and DT Swiss Alpine 3 spokes.

I would like to use nipple washers on my next build. I dont have issues with spoke breaking but some of my last wheels have developed small cracks around nipples over time. This might also be due to too much spoke tension.. Still I am thinking washers cant hurt rim built since I am on the heavy side.

I am looking at which washers to buy, I found these:

https://www.bike24.com/p281744.html - It says they are for DT Swiss Alpine 3 spokes, however they look flat to me? The rim I have has a slight bend where the spoke hole is. (I guess most of the rims are like that..) I cant find any info of these washers on DT Swiss website thought.

I also found these: https://www.bike24.com/p2163455.html - which are available on their website: https://www.dtswiss.com/en/wheels/wh...phr-technology

Have you received the rim or is it still in transit? My experience has been that Dt rims ship with the appropriate washers.

I have already received it. I havent got washers. Not sure where did you get this info. Maybe it just applies to certain rims.

I use Sapim POLYAX NIPPLE WASHERs

I saw them but I think they have a strange shape maybe affecting the rim in an awkward way.

Straight out of high school, I applied for a job as a nipple washer. I never heard back though. How my life might have been different...
