what the hell is the correct way of doing it? i have the rims drilled for the screws, and i was told to just thread them in with the tire inflated. but i do this and the screw just pushes the tire back a little. doesnt seem to be grabbing at all. then i got the brilliant idea to drill the hole. well some worked out ok. but now i have broken 2 drill bits in the god damn tire. and when the second one broke, it made a god damn deep ass scratch in the BRAND NEW RIM ![[Mad]](mad.gif) please help, as i feel like roling my brand new pro stars and hoosier slicks down my hill ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

on both sets of rims that i put rim screws in, i drilled with slicks off...
-take slicks off
-measure the distance between all drilling spots
-use drill bit supplied with rim screws
-drill
-mount slicks
-with a socket wrench and socket, carefully tighten screws in ensuring they go in straight and the head does not break off....
let me know if you need help ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

Do not bottom screws all the way because they will break like Greg said. I did that, tried to drill it out, and put a hole in my tube! Oh well, live and learn. ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif)
