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...

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...
