CrapSticks (new rim)

robb_o · June 2007

just got my new rim through and it looks like the valve hole is too small so i'm gonna have to drill it :-(

anyone else had to do this before?

Pics before you touch it?
Also, would it not be a smarter idea to go to your LBS and buy a ne wtube rather than drilling a brand new wheel?

Ive drilled mine, just get a 6mm bit i think and just drill it, then just file off any sharp bits around the hole. Then your sorted, i wouldn't be too hung up on not drilling it because its new.

i'm not saying it looks difficult.
i'm asking if anyones done it before?

also, am i being paranoid or are these spoke holes too big?
Admittadly this is the first non-eyeletted rim i've ever seen.

Oh, and if you dont feel confident ask your dad to do it. Dont use a drill with a steep angle or it'll bite into the rim. Slightly used drills are better for this type of thing unless you know how to drill properly.

I'm scared, I'm scared! Or something.

Drilling stuff is cool though, I suppose.
