SamHolmes Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 My profile has just been built but now I cant use my snail cams :o I cant run them on the outside and there too wide to run on the insise, should I pull the frame out to make them fit? Whoevers got a ZOO! Python 05 and is running a profile please post pics of your set up at the back please :o Sam :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siders77 Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 I wouldn't pull the frame out mate. It will probably end up cracking or something :o My mate Lew who runs a Profile has cut down some old chain tugs :o I'll get him to post a pic up :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 i think Mod661 which is nick from halifax has got his snail cams on the inside and his bike is a 2005 zoo python? Waynio....................... you only need to open the frame a little bit and that U6 tubing is flexy enough to do so. its like the cheesiest alloy there (but has the best properties for a Triasl frame, its so much more durable and flexy instead of it just cracking. its not like monty material where if you open it your causing the frame to be put under more stress) is but super good for trials frames.

Waynio Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 U6 isnt like the monty material Siders77. its a much flexier and urable material. like i say its not the same as the monty material. just ask tartridge or any one in the know about U6. it IS the best alloy trials material available.

Siders77 Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Ah right, that shows how much I know then! :o :"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 dont worry dude,i wasnt having a go, and wouldnt like it to go across like that. just thort id let the lad know, as iv encountered it with a few that have been into the shop and iv sorted myself. most U6 frames the drop outs will end up with massive gouges out of the material due to the wheel been tightened and loosed so many times. it literally eats away at the material. (well if you tend to like swinging on the allen key bolts or 15mm spanner :P :( which iv seen on a couple of bikes :o :o ) Waynio........................................

Matthews Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 (edited) Hey all I just cut down some old tensioners so that they fitted in the drop outs and put the circular spacer things actully inside the frame itself (i know this may not be they correct way to do it but its working fine for me) :o Edited June 4, 2005 by Matthews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dai the Socket Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 i think Mod661 which is nick from halifax has got his snail cams on the inside and his bike is a 2005 zoo python? ← Indeed. I have. It's on a profile hub. My dropouts have indentations on from my old wheel though, and it won't align properly as it 'slips' into the old position since I've got a new wheel!! Eek! Looks like they're being sanded, or having plastic metal on, or i'm getting/trying some of the snail cams with little notches on :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamHolmes Posted June 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Just been out for a ride and my chain just goes really slack :o ive got the cams at there highest ponit but its still slack :o Its alright when I set it up but it just moves when I ride even though I tighten the bolts up loads Does anyone know wether chain tugs will fit on the 05 python?

Brisa Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Up above Siders pic shows some chain tugs being used. As far as im aware you will have to mod them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
