Mark W Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 www.customriders.com Anything that's for 10mm axles will fit your bike. I guess you could go for snail cams or something, but I way prefer chain tugs really... So yeah, just go for whatever you like the look of/is cheap enough. I think at the moment I've got some old random KHE one for the right, and a tiddly Onza one for the left. Primo and Snafu do good stuff, but really, it'll all work fine...

JT! Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Get the snail echo ones, as the frame has a hole in just for them. You will need to put something in the hole, but they are the best design. :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roozor Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I wondered what the hole was for :ermm: where can i get them JT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Tartybikes stock Echo, so I'm guessing they'd have some. If you want "20 year of trial bike experience" holding your axle in place, you could get the Monty ones from Cleanbikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 quite sure tartybikes has them avalable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roozor Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I saw those monty snail ones form cleanbike, but how the fudge do they work? they look like just bits of metal :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montybiketrial Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Monty ones will not work. They are the same design/principle but they are smaller. The Echo ones will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burton Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I saw those monty snail ones form cleanbike, but how the fudge do they work? they look like just bits of metal :ermm: ← im confused on how they work and how you set them up :P :P :- :D :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bondy Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 (edited) Heres a pic of my old bike when i used snail cams basically i already have the bits which stick out on my frame so i dont need bolts but they work the same way basically the snail cam latches onto the bolt and the more you push it, the further back the snail cam is and as you push it down the snail cam gets wider in the middle so it pushes the wheel away from the frame more :ermm: hope that makes sense and helps :ermm: Edited January 27, 2005 by Bondy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roozor Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Which bolt bondy, and where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartridge Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 The way they work is the go between your axle bolt/nut and your frame dropout. Just forward of the dropout slot should be a small bolt sticking out of the frame (or a hole a bolt could go into). When you twist the cams around they push against the bolt, the further round you twist the cam the further/harder it pushes your axle away from your bottom bracket area. Thus making your chain get tighter :ermm:. Just emailed you back Alex... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roozor Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 oh ta tardridge :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bondy Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 The bolt will go through these holes Take off your wheel, put the snail cam on you can have it either on the outside of the frame or the inside up to you, i put mine on the inside, then basically to be honest its pretty self explanatory and tarts explanation sums it up :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roozor Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I'm praying that this will be the end to my "skipping" problem, as i've replaced the freewheel, chain, rear sprocket, whole new rear wheel (but i needed one anyway) But i have noticed on my frame that where the serated edges of bolts go on the frame , the frame has worn and gone a bit smooth so the wheel slips when i pedal hard sometimes! Hope this is the end ;p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
