fappy'97 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Send them to Wheelman if you can get ahold of them. He does it for a good price... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

springer Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 lathe.... you could sorta do it by hand with a die grinder and some burrs, but it would suck. and take forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustynail Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 jack up the rear of the banshee take of wheels. Fire up banshee and have a friend hold throttle to a good RPM....with hubs still on axle you have them spinning like on a lathe...just keep out of the chain....OH and update with pics of you doing this!

Dmx Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I just milled my front hubs, only 4 slots/hub and the weight loss was about 50grams per hub. There is more to shave off of them if youre going to only drag. Heres my stock vs milled hubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmx Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 50grams is about 0.11lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
