QUICK QUESTION: How Hard to modify hub for new spokes
I'm looking at the FAT Twisted Spokes from HDwheels and using my existing hubs, they said "Also to fit Fat Twisted spokes in the original hub you need to slightly enlarge the holes in your hubs; otherwise, they will not fit." wondering if this would be real hard to do, it doesn't seem like it would be but any input would be nice to help a guys save some $$

The existing holes in the hub should be self centering enough for a hand held drill. An exact to the .001" centering isn't crucial at all. It's the threaded spokes/nipples that are used for truing. Just the rim needs to be centered in it's 3 dimensions of run-out, the hub just holds the spokes in place on one end.
