I have just bought some Element rims but have since noticed the valve hole is only big enough for presta, do you think it would be safe to drill a bigger hole for schraeder vales?

Cheers for your help

    It would be easier & safer to buy some presta tubes IMHO 8)

    ...you could buy plenty of tubes and a pump/adaptor with the £100 you've saved.

    Yeah, no problem with buying the tubes, just prefer schraeder. Wasn't sure how safe it would be to drill a bigger hole. But thanks for the advice
