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.

Good info, but I think you have it in the wrong forum. This should have been in the "Tools and Parts Sources" forum. Also, some info as to where to buy these would be good as well.

I didn't know there was a tool and parts forum.

I'll have to look for it.
