Probably a question for @mdcc_tester :)
If I (for reasons...) wanted to drill new spoke holes in a aluminium rim, what would have the strongest connection: holes for internal nipples ~2.5mm or normal holes 4.5 mm.
i guess the smaller hole would be stronger but wouldn't a normal hole + nipple spread out the pressure from the spoke over a larger area?
