SkiLLz Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I want to lose the disk and go rim brake but this may mean a new rim on the wish list. Has anyone ever tried a rim brake on a rim with drilled sidewalls? If so how did it work out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe@Onza Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Drei and Joe both run front Magura Rim brakes with drilled rims, They grind them and then they work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I'd be worried about the pads getting caught in the holes and ripping the material out of the backing, or jamming on, anyway had that problem?Not to worry you or anything, just the first thing I thought about.
