Umm, a bit of a fly has worked its way into my ointment. If I drill the second set of holes as planned, it occurred to me that the new holes will be directly opposite the OEM holes in the opposite flange. That will eliminate the stagger between the holes in the flanges. Will this present a problem? Should I orient pulling spokes directly opposite each other? Or, should they be staggered by one hole? As this is a rear wheel, the stronger tension of the drive side spokes should take precedence over the non-drive side spokes, or so I would think. The spole lengths may need to be adjusted, but probably not even a full mm.
Any thoughts from the wheelbuilders out there?
Thanks.
