I rescued a 70's tandem from a reputable builder with a rear drum brake.
At least 3 mm gauge spokes ,
and rim holes so large that no modern spoke would fit.
There are some monsters out there.
Spokes kept braking ,even riding it solo.
I tried to source some spokes,
or washers that would allow me to fit modern spokes.
Thanks all for the clues.
