An abutment interface located between a spoke attachment nipple and a bridge of a rim to properly align the tensioned spoke with the rim. The abutment interface includes a first washer with a radially inner face that abuts the bridge and a radially outer face that abuts with a radially inner face of a second washer that has a radially outer face that abuts an enlarged head on the nipple. The faces of two washers are complimentarily shaped and adjust with respect to each other and the nipple head. An initial adjustment takes place when the fixing the spoke to the rim and the washers prevent any further adjustment when fixing the spoke to the rim.
