Ken:

If you want to shore up the drive side, you can hook up nine spokes from the inside of the drive side! You're going to need spokes 5mm or 6mm longer than the normal size that you would normally use.

(1) clip off all the heads

(2) grab the bend of the hook with the cutter, from the inner side of the curve. Bend it till the end is pointing upwards.

Now you have a spoke with a hook that you can install from inside. ''Install from the inside''! I always lace these spokes as drive (pulling!), tighten them up and you're ready to go.

Of course, there was a spoke already made like this! Just don't know if it's available anymore and I really can't remember the brand?.........Hoshi?.........Areo Alpina?

PS: It's best to install these spokes after the left side is all laced up,......Good luck!
