| Since there is no tech forum i'll post it here.
Do you think it would be a good idea to drill out the rear dropouts on my frame to 14mm? I got the frame for free and it should be strong enough. And it would be much cheaper than buying a new bike all together. | |

| And for a tip, shave the top out now the bottem so it wont be too weak, and dont do top and bottem cause it will come out uneven.. pretty obvious but just reminding you :wink: | |
