AdamAllen Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) Easy Lads, Looking for abit of advise, I wanna drill some holes in the below for snail cam grubs, Where does everyone think would be best?

Earl Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) you can user bmx chain tugs and can get then in 10mm and 14mm and they work well https://www.tartybikes.co.uk/chain_tugs/c8.html Edited May 16, 2019 by Earl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamAllen Posted May 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 Hate tugs Earl, And the dropout only has about as much movement in it as the preformed insert of the tug. - Are you still riding? Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 Might be worth measuring where the hub is going to sit when you get your ideal gear ratio, then go from there? If it's going to end up sitting further back, having the hole bottom right might not be ideal. If you have to wind a lot of cam on then you'll have to run the cam with the larger section hanging on the underside of the dropout which makes it a little more prone to getting hit.

I was actually thinking this not long ago. If i'm lucky I could run with no tensioners . Thanks Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
