Bent KH hub flanges

I hate bending the flanges back, but its the only way I can get my
spokes into or out of the flange without bending the spokes really
bad.

After a few more wheelbuilds, ill be tossing the Kh hub and getting a
Nimbus hub, unless Kris does something about the big chunks of metal
missing in his flanges only saving a few grams of weight that I really
do not think are important to be saving when it causes so much extra
trouble.

I thought the holes were there to allow the flanges to bend, not just
to save weight?
