Making Trike and Quadcycle Hub Flanges Without a Lathe

Step 13Drill the Spoke Holes

Drill the Spoke Holes
Drilling the spoke holes is another process that is not very difficult to do, but may seem like a lot of work. In reality, the entire process of drilling all 96 holes in the 4 flanges takes only an hour and can be made a lot easier by bolting down the flanges as shown in Photo 13. if you are lucky, you may not break any drill bits, but best to have a few on hand.

Nice work! - As others have said, I couldn't figure out how to drive the rears of a trike (not without LOADS of chain & stuff, anyway!). Just one question - what size bit do you use for the spoke holes?
