moza Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 do they go looser or tighter, they may be the wrong way round. also you may want a washer on the bolt to.moza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he has got a ti hub on the back and he just uses the bolts that came with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moza Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 maybe try to put some light grease on the the blot and in between the snail cam and frame ect. are the cams on the outside of the dropout or the inside(hub side)?moza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moza Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 i had this problem on my koxx levelboss. and it was because there was loads of thread lock on the bolt(blue or red stuff) and it made the axel spin causing the snail cam to turn. i just cleaned it of the bolt and put a dab of grease on it.try that, i cannot realy say much more. moza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerz Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 (edited) Sorry im no help here but i will just let you know that your not the only one with this problem.My mate is finding the same problem at the moment with his monty pr, as he tightens the bolts the snail cam moves round with the bolt,and he has the snail cams on the outside of the frame and another prob is that the wheel spacing wasn't right when he got it new from cleanbikes, so on the left side of the wheel he also has snail cam inside the frame to space it out properly.I hope you get the problem sorted Edited January 13, 2007 by powerz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
