I recently bought a drum brake and as it turns out the holes are for HD size spokes. I plan on lacing it to a 26" rim with 36 holes.
Does anyone know what size I need and where I can get them?

I also have the feeling that this is a worksman hub... :|
 
I would start with a spoke calculation and go from there. I actually have a hub that takes 105 ga. spokes which is what i suspect you will need. I can measure a spoke hole if needed. You will need to take all measurements metrically or be able to convert.Once this is done you will at least know what lenth spoke you are looking for. Heres a link to get you started.

Hope this helps. Later & PEACE!!!! :wink:
 
I laced one up from a Worksman. I used .105" on a 24" rim. mrrabbit at bikeforums.net custom cut them for me after I did the spoke calc. I was even able to order them in black from him.
