Just came across some how-to info and thought it might be fun to try it on a pair of shagged out 105 levers I had lying around just for kicks. I got a new drill for my birthday in September and have yet to use it! But if it turns out nice enough, I considered perhaps doing this to some bits on my classic commuter. Obviously, shaving a few grams from a bike with a rack and panniers is ludicrous on many levels, but I think I might like the look, I like little projects and my wife LOVES when I find free projects. So what are your experiences?Drillium Dude in 3, 2, 1.....
I've only ever drilled tires with road debris. Didn't like the results. Especially drilling the front tire at 30+ mph. Don't try that at home, kids.
