Hi folks,

A very quick review here on the new S3 MAX snail cam adjusters.

On my '09 Gasser I prefer to run a 10T front sprocket instead of the standard 11T. The 10T slows it down a bit and suits my riding style.

With the standard snail cam adjusters on 'full' this setup works OK when the chain is new. However as the chain stretches the tensioner comes up too far and there's nothing left in the standard adjusters:

Standard cams - no adjustment left.
Standard cams - no adjustment left.

Some people remove half a link and get a special joiner link, but I didn't really like that solution.

Enter the new S3 MAX cam adjusters. As you can see, there's plenty of adjustment left, and they look great too!

For me, these are a perfect solution to let me run the smaller front sprocket.

They are available via The Hell Team - see this article for more details.
