I was planning on using 2.0 / 1.8 / 2.0. mm butted spokes.......will be slightly larger spoke holes create any problems in build or wheel quality??
I used some 15/16/15ga. spokes in a 2.6mm hole hub and didn't like the angle the "button end" was being pulled.
Different sized apples to compare, but I'd expect yours would be similar.
I would use spoke washers if I were to do it again.
Are these hubs designed for "super aero" spokes?
