Hole size should not make a big difference, 48 spokes will have better liner stress displacement that 36 and with the rim having a double wall it will help (a bit).....that said, it depends what the rims intended use is for.......and the overall mass placed on the rim......e.g are you a 6’ 2” chunky monkey !!! I’ve done a set of 36's myself, although I used a £63,000 CNC miller.........handy if you've got one !!!! But It’s very easy to do a set manually..(you will need to de-spoke the rim)..will just take a while as to do it correct you’d have to “drill” each hole three times..... I would go with a smaller hole simply because you have a smaller gap between the spokes and aesthetically it would look better.
Can any one tell me the size of the holes in pro class rims?
