modrider666 Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 (edited) Hi, I have ordered some snail cams from fresh products and i am just wondering will i need to remove any spacers etc on the profile for them to fit, The frame is the new team by the way and i noticed that there is a gap anyway between the profile and droputs when the bolts are not tightened. Thanks everyone :) ..Peter Edited September 15, 2005 by modrider666 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Yup, Noz is right, they just go right in there. You can't remove either of the spacers on Profile hubs for future reference (and have it run properly!) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That right Ad? ← Pretty much, although the bearings are fully sealed cartridges, so its not really an issue. The main thing is that the end caps space the bearings out so they run properly, and create a better contact point. Which would you rather run?
