It was also old school to take a drill to just about any bike component---- and to nail the soles of your shoes directly into the pedals.
Why do you really want to do it? If you are having trouble with your wheel builds, you might want to start there. I personally find it very easy to build a wheel that is so stiff that it is uncomfortable these days.

I was talking to a pretty respected mechanic and he was telling me it's an old school method for increasing stiffness in the rim and therefore power transfer while accelerating.
Any cons to this?
