SkiLLz Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Hey i just had a thought. I saw the Onza Hog rim with the drilled side wall and I like it, but do you think it would be ok if i got a garage to drill the side walls on my Ronnie 26"?

Ben John-Hynes Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Yeah that'll be fine. Only use small drill bit, Drill where the spoke is, and in between spokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiLLz Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) Cheers, do you know what kind of size drill bit i should use? edit: Oh and how roughly how far apart the holes should be? Edited May 28, 2008 by SkiLLz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 About a 4mm drill bit. Drill where each spoke is on both sides, Then drill in between those holes on both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duck Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 For best effects, use a countersinking drill bit. Thats what onza use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Onza hog has 4mm holes, countersunk, one at each spoke location and two in between on my 32h rim, giving a total of 96 holes per side, thus 192 in total When added to the 32 spoke holes, the 30 weight saving holes, and the valve hole that come as standard, it would be a labo(u?)rious task to whittle one from scratch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this would work, garages lack certain human qualities which allow them to work electronic equipment such as drills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Don't know why, but something about that made me laugh like f**k, haha. Like asking a window cleaner to install a nuclear reactor. Just make sure all the holes are equal distances apart...otherwise you may ruin the looks of a perfectly good wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 It does make it look pretty cool, but doesn't save a fat lot of weight, I managed to save 18g out of my front wheel, and drilled in line with every spoke hole and then 2 in between each of them.
