Carlperkins Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 alright this may seem a tard question... i got a 09 neon bow frame which is compatible with snail cams eg. has the 2 bolt holes... figured that one out myself ive got an onza sealed disc rear hub on the way.. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/116mm_fixed_hubs/onza_sealed_disc_rear/c62p10814.html and ive got some monty snail cams on the way.. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/snail_cams/monty_snail_cam_tensioners/c114p2092.html how do i know if they'll fit? what im thinking is that the hub will be made to fit between the rear dropouts perfectly as it is, and to add the snail cams i will need to cut the thickness of the snail cams off the inside spacer part of the hub? so effectively ill be reducing the width of the hub from 116mm to 110mm to add 2x 3mm snail cams. am i in the right ballpark?

ogre Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 ask before you order see if it all fits, if it doesn't then get the grinder out? if you have to pull the stays appart to fit it in you need to grind it, if it just slots in your fine, even if it's close, if you don't like it, run the cams on the outside?

skidmark Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) i think you'll find your going to be safe there as most frames have a bit of free space between the drop-outs and the hub when the wheelnuts/bolts are loose. when you tighten your wheelnuts/bolts your frame will close that free space and clamp tight to the hub. that free space will allow the snail cams to sit in between the frame and the hub no problem. i hope this makes sense... its a bit late and i got a little confused trying to think it through Edited May 15, 2011 by skidmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty221ti Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 run them on the outside, all the monty bikes have the cams on the outside and its working fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlperkins Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 outside it is . cheers guys. yeah i should have asked first really. i watched the hubs product guide and some are 110mm spacing already like the trialtech hubs and a few others, but the one i bought doesnt state whether its 110mm or 116mm spaced. if its 11 its gravy, if its 116 ill run them outside. sorted.
