Rim Problem


Hendrix

Recommended Posts

Right,

I have one of these dodgy Sema, or something Tubes in my rim. The reason being, where the valve goes through isn't thick enough for a standard tube valve.

Can I make the whole bigger without making the wheel unstable ?

If so, what can I use to make it bigger ?

Cheers,

Hendrix

Don't worry about it mr Hendrix just use a drill. I did mine a couple of years ago cos it came with a little hole for silly valves, it's been fine ever since. And think about how loads of rims have big holes drilled in anyway...

Cheers for all the responses. I was just concerned if I drilled it out, and rim wasn't made for it, it might weaken it.

Again, Cheers!

:huh: why don't you use a presta valve tube like all the xc boys use because they are generally a hell of alot lighter than most tubes and the valve its self is tiny

Because the pump I have for that valve is HUGE... and the one I have for a standard one will fit in my pocket =]

:huh: but most pumps these days come with the fittings for both even if you have to turn the rubber insert upside down to fit the presta, even pumps from aldi come with this option

Mine doesn't have it....

and it's a £24 pump. Animal Label.... had to have it!

SO. Again, thanks for the POSITIVE responses! I will have a look Friday evening =D
