Re: Drilling a brake disc carrier?
What Sid asks is pretty much what we need to have an educated guess about whether it is possible or not...

Re: Drilling a brake disc carrier?
Here's my guess: if you're drilling within 0.005mm of the edge of the carrier then it will fail and your balls will fall off in the resulting mess. If you leave 25 yards of material and reinforce it with blue tac it will be fine and people will gasp in awe as you ride past them.

Re: Drilling a brake disc carrier?
That was a deliberate error waiting to be spotted. 25 yards is obviously 22 860mm which would have been the correct way to display that particular measurement.
