I don't think there would be a problem lacing w/ 14ga spokes and probably not even with 15, but some hubs (although I don't believe that one) came with really big spoke holes - I was about to lace up a coaster brake hub with 14ga spokes and the heads passed right through the spoke hole.
These holes look good from here though.

I hope to (pick your deity) that this is for a beater wheel, especially given prices of a basic shimano front hub.

i can't thank you all enough for setting me straight - it's much appreciated.

yeah, i think i'll save this for my redline mono-cog (for urban streets) project. i have a crmo rl mono-cog with "tom slicks" and bull horns; nothing great mind you. maybe hf hubs will give it that "edge."
