ross brown Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) Hi all, Im after new snail cams for TYR, do you know if anyone offering in adonized alloy (15mm spindle diam) or snails for some modern bike might be an option(most likely 17-20mm Im afraid..) BR, Funny you ask this. Less than an hour ago, I heard back from Vince at V-Mar. He's just completed a batch of anodized snails (black or red) for TL/TLR Hondas and other twin shocks that use a 15mm axle. When I started looking for snails, I found that most of the ones on offer take up too much width on the axle which leaves the axle nut short of thread. Of course, I had to purchase a set before I found this out. Still they make good key rings! The really good news is that Vince has now done a batch where he mills out the snails around the axle nut/axle cap area so you get a solid width modern alloy 6mm snail, with 4mm width at the axle nut. This means you can throw away your standard Yamaha/Honda OEM 4mm snails and not worry that the thicker snails use up any extra axle length. I don't think he has them shown on his web site just yet, so send him an email and ask. Hope this helps. http://www.vmar.com/snail.html He also does a mean set for the 4RT (17mm axle) that is milled at one end to capture the axle nut and stop it turning ie. no spanner needed.

ausy300pro Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Don't know where you are but both in motion (bultaco uk) and sammy miller products do sanil cams with 15mm holes, I have dealt with both and had excellent service from them both.
