Ok so the cams should be the opposite way round each side as the bolts rotate different ways. If you’re really having problems could try a spring loaded washer. Do you get me if not, ill take some pictures to explain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, make sure the cam spins the same way as the nut, when the cam is moving the bike wheel back, try it. TRY IT <<<<<<<<<<<<maximus!

max-t Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 What snail cams do you have? What back hub?The smooth ones tend to slip loads. It would probably be a good idea to invest in some 'notched' ones. Like these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Just make sure they are lamped up, I have only ever had notched ones and they have never slipped, but my mates smooth echo ones were shite, they just slipped all the time.
