Luke Rainbird Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 BMF = DX32 = Drilled by loads of people over the years (myself included)I took mine to around 18mm holes, though Bigman took one to 25mm (for the front) and 22mm to the rear with no major issues if I recall correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grant_hundley Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I drilled my dx32 (same as bmf just not eyeletted) and lmf other day..Did 20mm holes in both. Saved about 110 grams off each.I'd a basher and they still seem pretty solid.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_Neal Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Ask Dave Kerr - think he got up to 25mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 The DX32 did come pre-drilled at some point. So i guess it's fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookyboy Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Its been done before, BMF's have always been strong rims so cant see any problem with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 i drilled my dx32 with 22mm holes and it made the wheel noticeably lighter, holding up absolutely fine. go for it, just use a decent quality hole cutter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben John-Hynes Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I drilled a 2nd hand DX32, was dented and ground when I got it... SO I drilled it anyway and it took such a beating. I hit it so hard and it kept on going. I only got rid of it 'cause it started to come apart at the join. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
