Callum Trialsin Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 im looking to bodge my adamant a3 for like 2 weeks as im skint and parents wont lend money, i dont have any snail cams or chain tugs anymore lost them. ive tried putting a normal washer on to give the outside bolt more grip but its still slipping. just wondering if anyone has bodged something like this pics would be good. or someone could just send me some snail cams in the post.Callum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Smith! Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 I've never run any chain tentioners, and my mate didn't for like a year on his Team, I'm not running on my Zoo now, or on my Lite before, just tighten the bolts, they dont come loose as easy as you think, this is with King bolts, the 8mm ones.Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan. Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 i have the EXACT problem with this! chain tugs dont fit the a3 dropouts as they aren't long enough and when you tighten the wheel into the place you want it will eventually slip back! and i dont think you want to be tightening your wheel every time you want to ride?

basher Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Put a nut in between the dropout. Just yank the wheel back and stick it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
