Drill the hole in the spoke oversize some to allow movement of the stem as the wheel bends. I don't remember what size drill I used but maybe just .030 oversize.

Also, I alligned the drill exactly with the two ribs on the inside of the spoke. The drill was sort of craddled in the ribs. See the 3rd picture on the original post. That was the perfect location for my setup. Yours may be different so watch it.

I've given you all the information to do this yourself but there may be some who aren't comfortable doing parts of this. If so drop me an e-mail and if there is enough interest I might be willing to make up kits both with and without the drilled spokes.

Have fun. It's easy and the spokes aren't that expensive if you make a mistake. You can do this yourself.
