Matt1973 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 HI GUYS, Gonna drill my front & rear rims at the W/E. Any tips or warnings before I go for it? Got plenty of clearance etc on rims, just wanna avoid mistakes if you've already suffered them Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McArthur Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Measure equal distances between the spoke holes and mark with an ink pen. Drill pilot holes first with a 2 or 3mm drill bit. Then use the bigger bit to make the hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Yeah make sure it's lubed up nicely, and stretch it slowly beforehand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJ. Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Use a scribe to punch a little hole to help guide the bit amd just go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
