Control-Trials Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Right guys and gals i have a zona zip and was just wondering-If i drilled a hole in my frame by where the snail cam tensioner bolt should go and then used a nut and bolt. Would it work ok.?Cheers !!!Dan !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bambi_3 Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 (edited) Um i supose the theory would work but weather it would in reality is different, id say go for it because its not really going to make much difference to your frame if it doesnt. all you'll be left with is a small hole.id say go for it and see what happens.si Edited December 18, 2005 by bambi_3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new_to_trials Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 I would not do that because the frame will be weaker and if you got warrenty on it and the frame breaks there say that you drlling that frame did it even if it the top tubesam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackey Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 (edited) hmm i dunno i would because then you can run snail cams and it will be alot better and i dont really think it will damage the frame but if you were to snap your frame riding and wanted to claim it on the warrenty they wouldnt let you it is up to you if you aint planning on claiming the warrenty if the frame snaps, then go for it but if not dont cheers mackey Edited December 18, 2005 by mackey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control-Trials Posted December 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Hi guys i am not to botherd about the warrenty, i just want to no if it will definetly work. ?Cheers !!!Dan !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsy Ben Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 in theory, yes! in reality, who knows ive never heard of this being done... personally i would if i wanted to and i think zona's are a long way off from snapping so...GO FOR ITand tell us the result after a few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 If you look on the dropouts of the Zona, they're pretty massive, so there's plenty of room to do it. Personally, I've never had trouble with chaintugs at all (and neither do the thousands of BMXers who've run chain tugs since near enough when BMX began?), and so I haven't bothered doing that to my Zip.From what I can tell, the Zip warranty only covers manufacturing defects, so if it snaps after any significant length of time (after a month or two, basically) you're unlikely to just get a free frame 'cos a material defect would've manifested itself before that time.So yeah, either way, I wouldn't worry about the warranty. Saying that, I also wouldn't fanny about with snail cams, but there we go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control-Trials Posted December 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Thanks for all the advice guys, but one more thing, i have the old echo hub with the snail cams attatched to the hub and i no they just slide of but then i can get the correct spacing. So what should i do ? Cheers !!!Dan !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
