Carlperkins Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 this is going to be a thread with pictures of my actual bike.. eventually.. but for now heres a rear wheel ive modified to hell.. basically i bought the wheel off a guy on ebay.. i then singlewalled it and rawed it and sold/gave the rim to harmertrials harmertrials laced it onto a rawed echo tr hub harmertrials then sold it to clarkehutchinson who drilled the extra holes in it clarkehutchinson then sold it back to me. i filed the holes to look a bit cooler, countersunk the holes and drilled the hub etc. gave her a scrub and here it is... 938g!!! by the way im not sure how long it will stay round for so i have my spare sl wheel ready to go back on when this one collapses haha more pictures of the actual bike to come... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalRobbo341 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) How 'modified' was the rim when you bought it, looks like a Try-All, but I have no idea? edit - Looks like a tear drop sort of shape! I like! Edited September 19, 2012 by CalRobbo341 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlperkins Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 How 'modified' was the rim when you bought it, looks like a Try-All, but I have no idea? not at all. just a standard 2010 onza zoot rear rim. double walled and drilled.

Carlperkins Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 you can mod that way more, get that sub 900g! i cba to sit and file the holes more, itll only save like 10g and its not worth the effort. i could do more with the hub, which i may well do, but saved like 300g compared to my old wheel. along with 200g saved off the tyre and 150g off the tube. 650g, quite alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 It's not 'modded to fook' though if there's so much more you could do... Those holes next to the spoke holes would make me have sleepless nights as well. Whatever happened to doing things right? I know it wasn't you who drilled them, so someone needs to show that clarke how to use a centre punch! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlperkins Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 It's not 'modded to fook' though if there's so much more you could do... yeeeah i know, but ii thought it was gay to write as a thread title.. "rear wheel slightly modified, could do more but CBA" anyway yeah im not expecting a lot out of it. its just an experiment really to make my bike lighter.

Jake. Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Was with Jack when he drilled the wheel by the way, weighed it before and after. Saved 5 grammes a wheel HA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saved 5 grammes a wheel HA hahaha oh yeah.. well worth it then. drilling and cutting the hubs and what not only saved like 40g. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Reynolds Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 hahaha oh yeah.. well worth it then. drilling and cutting the hubs and what not only saved like 40g. I'm sure Isitafox did this and saves 50+ grams on single walling alone. I've seen rims with 4 drilled holes around the spokes, looked well done and i doubt it would affect the strength much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Definitely modded to fook but I'd say there's a limit when it starts to look gashly modded to fook. No offence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClarkeHutchison Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 how are these rims holding up? this is what i did from my echo 2007...
