FAQs

What is the primary benefit of using oversized snail cams?

Oversized snail cams offer a wider range of adjustment for your rear wheel's position, allowing for more precise chain tension tuning and potentially extending chain life by enabling optimal tension settings.

Are these snail cams compatible with all trial bikes?

No, these specific cams are designed for Gas Gas trial bikes from 2011 onwards with a 20mm rear spindle. Compatibility with other brands or models is not guaranteed.

How does the integrated spacer help?

The integrated spacer simplifies the installation process by combining two parts into one, ensuring correct spacing and alignment during setup.

Can these cams help maximize chain usage?

Yes, by allowing for finer adjustments and maintaining optimal tension, these cams help reduce uneven wear on the chain and sprockets, potentially leading to longer component life and better overall usage.

What does 'Oversize' refer to in the product name?

Oversize refers to the larger adjustment range provided by these cams compared to standard-sized snail cams.

How often should I check the chain tension after installing these cams?

It is recommended to check chain tension regularly, especially after initial installation and before long rides or demanding trials, to ensure it remains within the optimal range.

What maintenance is required for these snail cams?

Regular cleaning with a soft cloth is recommended. Keep the adjustment threads clean and apply lubricant sparingly if they become stiff, avoiding dirt accumulation.

Troubleshooting

Snail cams are difficult to adjust.

Ensure the threads are clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant to the adjustment threads. Check that the rear wheel is correctly aligned and not binding.

Chain tension cannot be set correctly.

Verify that the snail cams are installed correctly and that the rear wheel is properly aligned. Ensure you are using the correct size spindle (20mm) for the cam. Check if the adjustment range is sufficient for your needs.

Cams do not fit the swingarm.

Double-check that your motorcycle model and year are compatible (Gas Gas 2011 onwards) and that you have the correct 20mm rear spindle size. Ensure no foreign objects are obstructing the installation.
