--- Quote from: Peter J on April 15, 2010, 10:28 AM ---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 !!!  :crazy2:

I’ve done a set of 36's myself, although I used a £63,000 CNC miller.........handy if you've got one !!!!  :2funny:

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..... :shocked:

I would go with a smaller hole simply because you have a smaller gap between the spokes and aesthetically it would look better.  :daumenhoch:
