Daffy-Duck Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 is there a trick to tightening the chain with these? because ive honestly had a gustful!!! like, i'll get the chain mint, and then tighten the axle up, and check the chain only to find its way to loose/tight!!!! cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hezzay Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 I cut myself on snailcams more than once. I f**king hate those things. But yeah, good to know you fixed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Notched cams make it miles easier, set the drive side first, then set the other one to get your wheel in the middle. Simple as that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hezzay Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 I use the monty cams, they're notched but they're a bitch to get nice and tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Just get a file or a grinder and put some notches in them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Echo snail cams were the best ones I ever used. Edited January 22, 2014 by DrStix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 I got some maestro cams off trials addict, they are spot on. Wheel and chain stays tight, and they are quite tough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
