JT! Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 As the title says. I've just roughly put the back wheel on, and it look bleak. Should i get the snail cams that have notches or that are smooth? I can imagine that the smooth ones won't be too good as they'll slip.

AdamR28 Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 It can be done with a bit of crafty angle grinding I'll try and find a pic of the last time I did it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I wish, its so much more fun Right, crappest pic ever (couldn't find the one I wanted):[attachmentid=5967]Grind the red bits off including the two corners (so the tugs is flat at the front half), and then run it the opposite way round to normal: so the round tabs face inwards and the square blocks are inside the slot of the dropout. Its also handy for spacing out your 110mm Profile to the 116mm spacing of the Team frame You can then go on to chop the threads down a bit if you like - makes it super neat.Hope that helps Ads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat hudson Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 116mm spacing wtf!!!!!! why is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 110mm + 3mm each side for chain tugs or snail cams - pretty much all mod frames are like that (apart from Monty, of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted July 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 It can be done with a bit of crafty angle grinding Thanks alot for the pic, but i'll stick with snail cams. Haven't got acess to an angle grinder anyway.If i'd have known about them not fitting earlier i would have ordered some snail cams with the profile lockring. But building up bikes wouldn't be as fun without these little suprises now would it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly C Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I've got a Team and I never wanted to run anything but bmx style chain tensioners as Snail Cams seemed pretty pants, I grinded and cut up my old chain tensioners but the reach and tension abilities were pretty pants after doing so pretty much eliminating the point of them in the first place.BUT after being recommend to try Fresh Products Snail Cams they've been perfect for the frame, easy setup, snug fit, great tension, easy adjustment all-in-all pretty much perfect.I'd definitely recommend them for anyone with the Team and a Profile or whatever as they work a treat and are a mere £8 Heres a link to them to have a look at: hereHope that helps,Olly.

Olly C Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 What did you do to yours?I'll get a pic in a bit maybe.. basically a custom cut spacer to fit in the Teams dodgy CNC dropout bits, works a charm and doesn't wear/grind into your frame like the profile bolt thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
