3dd Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 (edited) Hi everyone. I was planning to go for horizontal drop outs some time soon, go for rockman or a stinger frame or similar. I have got a king and a heavy duty axle, the problem is would I be able to run it as the "fun" bolts are 12mm in diameter, snail cams only go up to 10mm, so would I need to drill out extra 2mm in a snail cam? Would my bolts fit into the drop outs? I think they should, because they supposed to be the same width as the vertical ones. Never ran verticals before so I dont know much. Thanks.Also I have seen Stan Shaw running king on his hydroxx in a video with snail cams. Edited September 13, 2009 by 3dd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
