Swize Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Righty ho, I tryed some monty snail cams for my 04 T-pro and they proved way to small also the bolt would not fit through the hole next to the dropouts anyone else had this problem is it one of is it just because they where monty cams ? So I am looking to buy some Fresh Product Snail cams does anyone else have thease or any snail cams on T-Pro's? Cheers Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai the Socket Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Haven't got a T-Pro, but on my Python these are the dog's bollocks. They're f**king awesome. Well machined, perfect tension, look ace, uber light and work perfectly. I was going to post a topic about how happy I am with them to be honest!

Heatsink Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 The steel snail cams (hard wearing and stronger than Alu) like Fresh do have to be superior to Alu versions (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 the bolt would not fit through the hole next to the dropouts anyone else had this problem is it one of is it just because they where monty cams ? Sounds like you just need a different bolt - the T-Pro frames take an M5 x 0.8 bolt. You may have to chase the threads through though, I just tried one and the finish is pretty thick. Agreed about steel cams Steve. One thing I did find when I used Monty cams though, was the teeth don't allow enough adjustment - my chain was either too tight or too loose, not ideal!

Cheers Sam The monty bolts didnt fit through my echo frame, I just got some normal bolts sawed 'em down and threadlock'ed some nuts to the end on the inside of the frame. Works perfect (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
