I was in the process of reworking a set of wheels from a 1951 hornet to use on my 1957 Streamliner until I can afford some rechroming and realized the front hub was all chewed up and then it clicked this is the perfect rim for my whizzer project. So I stripped all the paint and so on and now two days later have a nice completely dent free rim in rust converter drying in the corner.
Anyhow on to my questions:
1. What is the largest gauge spoke that will fit in to a New Departure hub without modification?
2. What size will I have to drill the holes in my rim to fit the nipples for .105 spokes and what size if I use .120 spokes?
