Snail Cams Are They Good? Or Bad?


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone

Heres the thing i have an Onza T-Mag 06 and i recently got a new Echo back wheel (116mm Echo fixed hub) but the snail cams that come with it

are far to small to fit my Onza so i have to buy bigger and/or better ones. So anyone who is all ready running snail cams on there T-mag or similar

can you tell me what ones you have or anyone knows what ones would best suit my Onza it would be a massive help. One more thing i was running chain tugs before

but i only have the option of snail cams now but which is better snail cams? or chain tugs?

Thanks for the help Kieran.

Too small as in they won't reach the bolt?

If so you're going to be quite stuck, all chain tugs are pretty much the same sise.

How far are the away?

Where abouts does the wheel sit in the dropouts, maybe you should take a link out of your chain? That would solve your problem so long as the wheel isn't too close to the bolts, i'd give that a try.

The echo hubs need you to use the cams that came with them as they keep the hub together. The best thing to do is to take some 14mm chain tugs and to fit them instead of the cames. Maybe with a spacer to thicken them up a bit.

i had a t-pro 06 and i had the same problem

i bought trial tech cams and they were big enough to reach the bolt (Y)

i think try-all cams are the same size if not bigger ;)

Thanks stunt man t i will go with the trial tech cams for now

if they don't work i will use try-all ones and if that still don't work which it should

i will try 14mm chain tugs sstein suggested thanks for all the help people your very

Dont be a fool and buy new cams. Simply put a few washers under the bolt the cams push off and they will now push off the washers instead of the bolt. If it still doesnt work, Get a washer with a bigger diameter. Dont bother spending £10+ on cams when a few 10p washers will do the job just the same.
