SkiLLz Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Every time I get chain tugs for my bike they don't fit so they end up snapping so I'm going to get some snail cams instead but I've never used them or seen them on a bike before. How do I set them and which is pair to buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 you'll need to mae sure your frame has some little threaded holes just infront of the dropouts so you can screw the bolts in for the cams to push against, otherwise you'll need to get the drill out and a set of taps (M5x1mm) and do it yourself. I strongly recomend the zhi snail cams, they do the job nicely and are chunky enough to take a fair bit of force, unlike the monty ones.

SkiLLz Posted October 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 The frame is smooth all round that area so i guess I'll just leave it. I can't be bothered to spend more time getting the thing working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkiLLz Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 I doubt they will fit over my frame though the back of it is wider than most frames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Drilling two holes and tapping them isn't hard at all, but you need to check that your hub is designed for Snail cams to be on the inside of the frame first, otherwise you won't have enough space to fit them in.

SkiLLz Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Or I could get some more tugs and grind the back bit down to fit over my frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
