Hi guys, i had a thought the other day about using drilled rims on my XC bike but wondered why almost no one else had done this? i cant see any down fall as they are pretty strong and will withstand any XC riding, they are a considerable amount lighter and are wider than most XC rims so will help prevent tyre folding. only thing i cant think of that is bad is that the drills will get water in them but that wont effect how the bike rides.
if you have any feedback please dont hesitate to tell me
Thanks, Matt
