Julius Czar Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Hey guys, I want to run a front vee, but I've got an onza hog front rim with drilled sidewalls. Would it be possible to run a vee with this rim without eating my pads, and if so what pads work best on this kind of surface?Cheers,Kieran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Its fine if the holes arn't countersunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukasMcNeal Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 I remember at one point koxx drilled holes in to the sidewalls instead of grinding on the team riders bikes but it never lasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 I've seen it done a few times, it can work, but I doubt you'd save much. I drilled 4mm holes in a Monty TI rim, 168 of them actually, and it saved 18g. From looking at that rim, you could run a rim brake on it.I saved 50g by switching from Tarty Griffles to TrialTech Foam. On my current front rim on my stock, I drilled 256 7mm holes in it, they're really close together, they're huge and it saved 60g. You could never run a rim brake on there though, there's more hole than sidewall left! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
