monkeyseemonkeydo Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Would that not weaken it in anyway ?How would it weaken it?Loving the rear brake pad setup too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenLeacock™ Posted September 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 How would it weaken it?Loving the rear brake pad setup too... haha there not even on anymore, 47mm rim +2.5 tyre = no room for any brake going to put a front rim on the back though I dunno, i read that i would weaken it in another base topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 I think it'd only be weaker if you cut it right down to the top tube, but if you leave 10 -15 mm i'd say it should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
