William trials Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 i got a onza pro 2010. At the moment i am using some homemade chain tugs. I don't like to have chain tugs at all, and i was wondering if it is posible to use snailcams on my bike? cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials owns Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Nought wrong with chaintugs, Check your dropouts and if there is a small hole it can run snail cams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Nought wrong with chaintugs, Check your dropouts and if there is a small hole it can run snail cams welll there is a small hole a little less than 1 inch away from the start of the dropout. is this the hole?

Jamie_Trials Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Nah, doesn't look like you can use them I'm afraid Needs to be more like that http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/images/custom/frames/large_akali7.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevind Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I put a disk back wheel on my lads Onza Blade frame. The new wheel/hub came from Tarty with snail cams. You have to measure the inside face of the drop out to a pint equal on both sides, and drill a 3.2mm hole (from the outside as the drill will not fit inbetween the drop outs.) You then have to tap the hole out to a 4mm thread. I put in a M4 x just less than the thickness of the drop out allen bolt on the inside face. I did put lock tight on the threads to lock them in. The snail cams then can adjust on these bolts. I also had to file down the cam adjustment lever on the brake side to clear the caliper. I have them on so they adjust anticlockwise, this is so they dont hang down and get bent on any rocks. It has worked fine for months now. The hole in the picture is only a drain hole for any water that gets in the frame. The bikes are away at the moment so cant get pics. Hope this helps.
