Dan@Trials-uk Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 (edited) Hey I thought Il try to save some wait on my bike lol, because we jsut got a piller drill, so I thought the 2 chunkiest part on my bike, so I have decided to drill the bash and booster. The bash took me about 10mins max, first I used a handdrill which it wasnt as accurate, but then I did it again with a 10mm drill on the piller drill. The booster took me about 5 mins to drill, and 5 mins to smoother of all the rough edges. here are some pics, please tell me what you think lol Regards Dan Edited March 11, 2005 by trialsuk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheChai Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 haha that would have saved a fair amount... just the little things that make a bike feel like nothing.. i think the bash looks cool... but for the booster... u might as well not have it on really lol...

Lewis Poyntontrials.com Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Drill - £100 Booster - £25 Bash - £50 Making a muppet of your self on trials forum - Priceless! ===================================================== You will have saved sweet FA gramms because the're both very light anyway and now your booster looks gash and won't work well. As for the bash its now so weak it will not last long if you use it atall! Quality :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew69 Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 was it just me who thinks this is plug for viz :P" if so your doing a good job (Y) not so keen on the look of any of the parts :unsure: Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nichols Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 was it just me who thinks this is plug for viz :P" if so your doing a good job :unsure: ← Hardly, the logo isn't even clear! Anyhow I think it's looks pretty good (Y) But probably more a UCI friendly drilling than a street rider or someone who hits their bash hard! Personally I'd get out the file and/or some abrasion paper and clean up all the burrs then it'll look neater :P Maybe polish it up afterwards to (around the drilled bits) Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisa Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Should go invest in a countersink, make all them holes look a bit more firendly (Y) It does look rushed and with the bash its not as if you even drilled the thicker, stronger part :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swize Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Bash looks really nice (Y) :) Not to keen on the boster, looks like u just randomly drilled it again and again and again :P" :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality (Y) ← Hey Drill cost 40£ bash costs around 15£,booster about 20£, I drilled the booster because I wanted to do so, I dont need it, its just on my bike to act like a protecter(to protect hoses) and the bash, I never bash so why not? and also I like to have some holes in the bash, is that a problem? :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Poyntontrials.com Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 I never bash so why not? and also I like to have some holes in the bash← If you never bash your obviosly not pushing yourself in the slightest. If as you say though, you never use your bash then I see no problem with the holes....altho if you never use your bash surly it would be more weight saving to just have a chain ring :unsure: .

Trebor Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 If you never bash your obviosly not pushing yourself in the slightest. Naa, he's just a UCI monkey :unsure: He uses the bash plate in the real sence of it, i.e. to protect chainring if he makes a slip. _________________________________________________________________________ Anyways, it definatly looks like a quick job, would have looked ten times better if you'd planned exactly where the holes were going so they all lined up neatly, I don't think the pictures do it much justice though . . . .

Tomm Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 He uses the bash plate in the real sence of it, i.e. to protect chainring if he makes a slip. ← I do that though. I never eveer intentionally go to bash. But when I slip off stuff, I twat it fairly hard. I probably wouldn't want holes making my bash any weaker (Although my non-"far Eastern shit" bash would probably take it :unsure: ), but if Mr Ko wants to do drill his stuff, why not? C'mon, it's not really gonna make a difference is it? The worst comes to the worst the bash gets bent a bit easily and needs replacing sooner. I'm sure he has a shitload of bashings lying around anyway (Y) EDIT: Raub that wasn't all aimed at you :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH!P Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 I can't see everyone's problem. It's up to him if he want's to drill that stuff really. Plus like someone else said, if he truly does only use his bash 'accidently' then it's hardly gonna f**k up too quickly. It looks quite beefy anyway. But yea, get rid of the 'teddy burrs' and it'll look proper :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant see the point myself, hardly saved any weight and dosnt look any better. Drill + boredom = disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
