Just got some deep Vs and recently got caught in a proper downpour, got home, dried the bike off, then pushing the bike i could hear running water. Basically the area inside the V had filled with water. I looked on my other bike that has shimano wheels and they have drilled it to let the water out. What i want to know is; has anyone seen the section of a deep V and can you tell me how deep from the tyre side of the rim should i drill? Both front and rear are machined (not that that changes anything). If I dont drill it and just let it dry over time, would that cause problems with the aluminium rim and steel spokes? Thanks for any info.
