[#3949566]

Somehow the head of one of the clamp bolts on my left hand crank (Shimano XT 760) is somewhat rounded. I would like to replace the bolts (assuming I can get it out!). Does anybody know which bolts are required and where I might be able to get some fairly quickly? I've tried googling, crc etc, but not come up with anything, although it probably doesn't help that I don't really know what I'm looking for....

Cheers ๐Ÿ™‚

If you can not wait for parts to be sent from an online retailer if you remove one of the bolts and go to your local fasteners you should be able to geta M6 x 20mm (a more common sized bolt) with the correct head for a few pennies.

With the crank arms being tapped all the way through the extra 1mm will not make a difference performace wise but the do stick out a little.

Thanks Mac, but I just ordered some from UKBikestore for an extortionate amount lol! Given where I live the mail order option is probably best anyway.
