Nexus 3-speed hub dimensions?
I have a tandem with a Nexus 3-speed hub with coaster brake. Since the team is quite heavy I would like to upgrade the rim and spokes to beefier components. Where can I find the hub dimensions for the hub so I can calculate the spoke length?
Also can I use 2.3mmx2.0mm single butted spokes in the current hub or will that require larger spoke holes?
Thanks
Craig

You can use the 2.3 spokes no problem. I don't know of an online source for the dimensions but you should check Shimano if you have'nt already. You could measure ( harder to do with a built wheel). Info on this should be at Park Tool & on UBI' spoke calc page. Or call the shop where you got the bike, have the model # ready, they should be happy to help.
