I vote perfectly safe. You've already got a bunch of much bigger holes for the spoke nipples to go through plus the valve hole, so an additional small nail hole should not matter at all. Also, most of the rim's strength is derived from the sidewalls, and the top section exists mainly to support the tube and resist tire bead side loads when inflated.

Yeah, you'll be alright.
Are you still on the Deep V wheelset you bought from me a few years back? |
Someone not too long ago was posting on a different thread wondering how to get water out of a rim after they'd ridden through a huge puddle. I guess you've got yourself a drain hole.

Are the FSA Energy Wing pro's replacements for the old Wing pro's? No more old graphics?

Yes.
No (which is a bummer). |
Supposedly there are some differences in construction but I think it's hogwash and FSA simply decided to raise the price.
|
Like I'm ever gonna feel a difference. I just want the bar shape man.
|
if all you're concerned with is the shape, check out the Dimension Flat Top Road Bar.
they are VERY similar to the FSA bars, but less than half the price. Dimension Flat Top Shallow Road Bar in Tree Fort Bikes Drop Handlebars (cat1427) I'm sure scrod would be able to get them for you, as well- they available through QBP. |
The Dimension bars don't have an outward flare in the drops, which is one of the things that separates the Wing Pros from many other compact drops on the market.
|
i've ran the wing pro on several different bikes (currently have one on my straggler) for a few years and don't remember an outward flare on the drops.
also, according to this pic there isn't a flare.... http://www.labicicletta.com/media/ca...-compact-4.jpg |
The first version didn't have the 4 degree flare like the ones from the past few years.
http://www.masherz.com/images/produc...shallowbig.jpg |
well again- a VERY similar bar for $40....just another option!
|
It's the flare that I love. I'm using the 38cm FSA Omega compact drops right now which have the round top, but wanted the flat tops for my new build. At that price with those graphics, I'm just gonna stick to my 40cm Wing pros then.

Hey Scrod,
I'm wanting a 28H silver H+Son Archetype, but they are only avalable in 32H drilling. Any suggestion of something comparable quality with some depth that supports radial lacing ? I'm using a nice Dura Ace LF front road hub and don't want to use a Velocity Deep V. |
fwiw: h+son makes all the other drillings but they dont distribute them to the us for some reason, so you gotta buy from the uk somewhere (like directly from them) and pay stupid shipping fees
i ended up picking a23's |

Velocity A23 is a great choice, especially considering that Velocity's quality is back up to snuff.

CT-3.2 can handle a kmc k810sl ?
tested the little ct-5 i have and no bueno, too fat. |

Would you do 28H radial lacing on one ? Do you consider the quality sufficient to be worthy of a Dura Ace hub and Sapin CX-Ray spokes ?
Absolutely. |

since the 710 would be even fatter id think it would be fine
i plan to use the master, just need the tool for shortening purposes thx broheim |
OK, just one more question on the wheel build. Spoke length calculator says I need 282.3mm spokes. Sapim Laser spokes come in odd size lengths. Should I get 281mm or 283mm ? I know the CX-Ray spokes come in even lengths, but I've decided they are not worth the added expense.
