Drilling hub.
« on: June 19, 2014, 03:25:44 PM »
Anyone have bought the 18'' front rim from Cyclex?

Would like your thought about it.The rim is made by V-twin Manufacturing.The rim is sold with spokes but cyclex spécified that the hub need to be drilled to accept the new spokes.

Bert are you talking opening the holes slightly for fatter spokes?.   Just use a cordless drill with torque control..

Yeah,that's what i mean,would like to know if members here have done this before.But i would like to know also what guys you're thinking about the spokes and rim from V-Twin manufacturing.Spokes are beefier thank oem spokes and they seems to be Good but i dont want bad surprise.
