  1. Yer it can be done, i did my mates. its still going strong lol. there was a post on members area about doing it but i cannot find it :angry: all you need to do is miss 2 spokes out either flange, try to offset them so its 1 either side if you get what i mean. makes it a bit easyer.

    cheers moza

  2. alright, i have had a blue echo rear 07 26" rim for about 2 months now and i have found it is great, nice and strong, holds a good grind for quite a lond time, and overall i love it. its definatly worth the extra weight. here are a few pics-DSCN0439.jpgDSCN0438.jpg

    cheers, moza

  3. Yes you can, all you need is a m6 tap some parrafin or deisel to lubricate it whilst tapping.take your wheel out of your forks and remove the QR, then put the axel in a vice so that it doesnt spin, then pour some parrafin/deisel onto the tap. Then slowly begin to tap the hole making sure it is kept verticle and that you wind it back every now and again to clean out the thread. Make a thread aproximatley an inch into the axel this will give the screw further to go which means it is less likely to strip. Then go to a engineers supplyer and buy some nice stainless M6x40mm allen screws and some washer to go with or get some of these badboysclick meeeee!. before you put the screws in you may want to apply either some copper slip of grease.

    i did it with my front and rear xc and it is fine.
