How to drill a nightrider 36 rim?
Okay, so an update on this. I drilled 34 (decided it was unwise to widen
the valve hole or drill a huge hole over the rim join) 3/4" (1.9cm)
holes in my nightrider. It looks pretty badass, and I'll...

How to drill a nightrider 36 rim?
If you use hockey tape, and the rim is drilled all the way through,
