  • Repo VL Rim Nipple Hole Size Question

    I have a repo 19" VL rim I want to lace with stock VL spokes and nipples. The nipple holes in the rim measure 1/4" in diameter, however my stock spoke nipples measure a larger approx .02835 in diameter. Am I correct that these rims come drilled with smaller nipple holes for use with early model JD light weight spoke nipples and you have to enlarge holes with a drill for later VL spokes? The info with rim says it fits JD and VL. I want to be sure before I screw up a good rim. Thanks!!

    Larger diameter of original VL nipple should read 0.2835". Thanks!

      Dear Buster, the 3947-29 nipples are 0.28" in diameter so it looks like the holes in your rim have been drilled too small.
