Ben John-Hynes Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Mine was really good. Had no more flex than normal, and it was just as strong as normal, go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mata22 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 i did it at fron dx and rer, i even did my fron singlewall and it is ok. do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nek0 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I don't see why not, DX32's are beefy! Could use a lot of drilling to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Im running a drilled dx32 on the rear with 18mm holes, dont have any issues with the strength and it holds a grind really well It weighs 654g which is only 21g heavier than a tryall h0le, I think you can safely open the holes out to 22mm to save even more weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxxis26 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) i did it on my old dx32 when i was running my black saracenthe frame broke before the wheel so i can happily say it lost no strengthi think i drilled 25mm holes with a 10mm pilot hole Edited October 6, 2009 by maxxis26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I used to run DX32's front and rear, 22mm holes in the rear and 25mm in the front and they lasted very well, I still run a dx32 on the front now, but it has been singlewalled and has large square holes Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
