8.5mm
but make sure your rims can be drilled as some are not suitable for drilling."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Thanks how would I know if they can be drilled ?0

Just checked - rims are Mavic X117 - would it be OK to drill these out0

I have never examined a Mavic X117 rim but usually Mavic MTB rims are already drilled for Schraeder they come with a black plastic collar in the valve hole to fit Presta.
If you do drill out the rim make sure you get rid of the burrs before you fit the tyre and tubeFig rolls: proof that god loves cyclists and that she wants us to do another lap0 -
all my mavic rims have the plastic cap,, remove the tyre and check,, it's easy to pop the plastic cap out,,,,,www.bearbackbiking.com
