Anyone know what diameter I should go for, I've measured them and they seem a little bigger than 2mm (more like 2.5mm)

Is this normal for spoke holes that take 2mm spokes?

Cheers for ya ears

go for the standard spoke hole since it doesn't count that much.
You should go a little smaller than recommended spoke length, just in case.
It's better to have the spoke a little short than a little long.
Sheldon has a spoke calculator which is totally 531. Go use it !

The spoke holes on the Mack hubs are just the same diameter like most hubs, like on Phils or Miche Primatos, for example.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
