hey guys
how do you mesure the angles of the helix.....had one given to me and all the guy said was its for a 700 tripple.

you can wrap a piece of paper around the outer diameter of the helix...

use a very sharp pencil to trace the angle surface against the paper...

use a cheap protractor and you can get within a degree...

the farther the spread of angles on a progressive helix, the more difficult it is.
...especially when the degrees are more than 10

good luck ;)

A guy at snowest posted this, checked it against a known cam and it was pretty darn close.
