modman Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 looks boring, and those little weight saving hole i doubt he'd even notice if you put them back in without him noticing, its pointless and to be honest a waste of money because you'll be spending so much on new parts. Grow some muscles dirtbag!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh_b Posted June 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 (edited) looks boring, and those little weight saving hole i doubt he'd even notice if you put them back in without him noticing, its pointless and to be honest a waste of money because you'll be spending so much on new parts. Grow some muscles dirtbag!!! he's just experimenting with different ways, if you just did say one thing like drilling levers then it's pointless, do ot all over the bike and it's worth it, they why he is running a front hs33 as is Gilles. Squaring the hole out on the rims apparently looses you about 100g-200g a wheel. Owww and lets be honest, i dont think he needs to grow some muscles does he EDIT: i personally think it looks great, but hey thats personal preference.

ogre Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 urg why are you bitching? does it matter? if he can afford to replace parts then it doesn't matter. looks kool i'm tempted to modify my rims soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he'll still get beat by kenny on a standard monty... well considering a guy on observedtrials.net weighted his wheels before and after and he had try-all rims etc and that was the outcome i'm pretty sure it's accurate, How do you know it's "complete toss" you must have done it yourself then?

Mr Rankin Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 im pretty sure vince doesnt drill his parts to impress or please people on here.he is an outstanding stock rider, if making his bike as light as possible is going to help his riding even more then thats what he is going to do."comp faggot" ha ha ha ever tried a comp have we????lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 (edited) That is complete toss.....Ok... so I'm bored at work... assuming a 32H rim (starting with no holes), that's 30 possible holes. Taking out a 25mmx30mm section from each, say 3mm thick (possibly a bit high but you get the idea) and using the density for aluminium of 2700kg/m^3 means that the total mass of metal removed would be 182.25g. So I guess 100-200g per wheel isn't actually that far off!!Sorry Rowan edit: Oh yeah, the bike! For some reason I really like the look of the Boxx and Vince's looks like one pretty dialled machine! Sorry if this has been answered somewhere but is the frame mod rear spaced? Edited June 29, 2007 by monkeyseemonkeydo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was starting with a solid rim but then no one runs them these days... except me That engineer brain obviously hasn't been melted by the post office just yet!

hugh_b Posted June 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 ok sorry yeah, got it a bit wrong :$ anyways about 50g saving on rear wheel and 50-100g on front, does it matter anyways, it's a nice bike and fair doos Vince has done everything he can to save weight because he can! Made an awesome bike if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oskar Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 (edited) hahahaha if he used light tires he would have saved another 500gr EASY!All those drillings save like nothing so its just dumbedit: i bet the spokes are just noname unbutted shit, and the headset is heavy, he could save much on that too..
