theom Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 From what I can gather sounds like to need to take a few links out of your chain and stick the snailcams back on. If they dont fit either run them on the outside or just ram em' in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMcd Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 If i remember correctly... Adamant hubs ran 12mm snail cams instead of 10mm. your best to either drill one, or both of your cams and then try. If they dont fit in after that... then i dont know :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtis G Posted July 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Tried putting snail cams on the outside and that still didnt work, anyone have any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piperfraz Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Put a pic on? How weren't they fitting? Was the axle too short or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtis G Posted July 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Put a pic on? How weren't they fitting? Was the axle too short or what? yeah axle bolts wont tighten with the snail cams in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manus-Rider Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 get big snail cam and drill bigger holes in the center and the same may work for chain tugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtis G Posted July 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 get big snail cam and drill bigger holes in the center and the same may work for chain tugs It's not that the holes arent big enough, it's the fact that the hub is to wide to fit both cams in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
