+lynx most if not all hub motors spoke holes are 2.3 or 2.6mm IIRC so you'll require the washers.

Would have gone for 13 or 12 gauge spokes but that'll be a custom order which will be spendy, so washers it is.

So, just like most normal hubs then🙂

I'd probably use DT Alpine III or the like for anything load bearing, they're 2.3mm at the head/bend, which is about a third more cross sectional area than 2mm spokes.

Yup but to order a box of 100 just for 32 spokes is not really that economical for a shop.

Spoke cutter and 14mm plain gauge and washers it is then.

I do love the Alpines though, never ever had one snap at the bend on my 48h polo wheel!
