TJ. Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Yes because you are removing metal, but if you want to risk it go ahead but i wouldnt remove any metal from my frame.Cheers TJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indianatrials Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 I wouldnt worry about weakening that frame, its strong as heck, even though it is heavy. How are you planning to cut the hole?Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 It will make no difference at all, it only saves about 25g, and when the frame itself is 2300g it really doesn't matter.If you got a lighter frame you could easily save 500-1000g.
