G-baby158 Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Profiles wern't designed to be compatible with snal cams as they are BMX hubs...But i've seen people with them on there profile's, do they just put them on the fun bolts?

Dan6061 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Run the snailcams on the outside of the dropouts instead of the inside. You do run them on the bolts though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Ah, that's a problem then!I wouldn't run them on the inside, as Profile's are 116mm wide, not 110mm like other Mod hubs for snail cams (Monty, etc) So you'd be flexing your frame out if you ran them on the inside, which is a bad idea...

JT! Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I used FP cams on my echo with a profile, tight fit, but never really had any problems at all. Will the frame not bend out at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the frame not bend out at all?As i said the Profile with the snail cams on fits in the frame fine, its just i wanted to ask about it because Callum said i was missing a bit on my hub and didnt know weather to blev him or not.

Dan6061 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Well if it fits fine, then what's the problem? I just thought it'd flex the frame out a bit, but if it doesn't then go for it!There's nothing missing from the hub either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) That picture doesn't help, as he has a different axle on his hub. This is the one he has, and he has all of it. Nothing missing at all!EDIT: Very sly edit there from you. Edited January 19, 2009 by Dan6061 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CZARKID Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 mine is same as yours mate and fits fine on my zoo python frame, on inside of the dropouts. theres a washer on the outside of the frame and then the cam on the inside.cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Powell Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Had absolutely no troubles with running my profile hub in my 06 python with snail cams. The Cams go on the inside of the frame and the washers stay on the outside of the dropout. Don't know what the hell callums on about.

eskimo Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Just drill your frame out. The snail cam bolt will create a thread into the frame by itself. This will save you bending out your frame and possibly adding a weak spot somewhere. Or some chain tugs if you have allot of dropout material.

G-baby158 Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Its done now, i took bolts to school today and cut them down, they fit fine on the inside with the Profile as i said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
