center drill bits. The perfect size for making the spoke holes is a #3 center drill. (Richie Rich)
They'll fit in any hand drill or drill press and won't 'drift' like a regular drill bit. Plus, there's a tip on each end in case you break or wear out one end. Another advantage is that you can drill and countersink the holes in one operation. Here's a picture....

In another place I believe Brad says a 7/64 bit is the size to use.
