ginger allen echo Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Has anyone done this? is an angle grinder with a cutting disk the best way of doing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Yes and Yes! My angle grinder packed in half way through but it was easily the easiest method mate. Then I went round it with wet and dry paper to make it super super smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger allen echo Posted March 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 i'd be going round it again with a sanding disk once finished cutting to get ride of burrs.. then with sand paper to get it smooth enough to stop punctures!

isitafox Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Next to no weight?? Got my Trialtech sport circle rear rim down over 100g lighter so it weighed less than an SL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Plus more volume so you can run harder pressures with the same bounce = less punctures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
