God I'm such a spanner, drilled loads of holes in the second skin of rim, lightened it by 200g result.

go to the next stage, Big hole cutter, to make it really light and the Flinkingbastarddrillthingymebobbins snapped causing the hole cutter to mangle the rim beyond all repair. It looks like a flippin grizzly bear has been chewing it.

I'm not normally such a duffhanded tosser, but I really have outdone myself!

new one on the way and this time I'll give to a nice man who can make a decent job of it.

I'm hanging up all my tools and never touchin anything bike related ever again.

a very sad and somewhat lighter in the wallet tazzy

Pop Lynskey is sitting there waiting for you, if you want to drop the wheel over tomorrow. Does have a big dent in it though where a lump hammer seemed to fly across the workshop. must have a poltergeist or somefink

tazzy, it's clearly bike related buffoonery.

I've reported your post. You should expect some time in the cooler.

You could use the pictures as a kind of warning about the dangers of using hole saws.

It's your duty to do it.

Buy a drilled rim?

even with mangling this one and havin to buy another 80mm, it's still cheaper than a surly rolling daryl. If I hadn't been a complete fknuts it would have been massively cheaper

If the sodding pilot drill hadn't snapped it would have been a simple job.

still at least I now know the heady height of my incompetence.

I'm kidding Tazzy - SSS will be along shortly to remind me of my own incompetence...

You'd never f*** anything up trying to repair/replace/bodge it would you mate.
