Help.

I've lost one of the 2 hollowtech2 bolts from the left crank arm.
Does anyone know a website where I can order some more?

Take remaining bolt and crank arm to local fastners and pick up a replacement for pennies.
From the shimano tech docs it calls for a M6 x 19mm Bolt & Washer. This is not a standard size however M6 x 20mm is and 1 mm extra bolt length will make no difference as the crank arms are tapped all the way through. The main thing you will need to get corect is the type of head on the bolt, let them know you want one to match bolt you have and to fit in the crank arm and you will be sorted.

[edit] The above figures are from an SLX chainset [/edit]

due to the rounded head my local place [only sell nuts and fastners]did not have them so I think you need bike specific ones.

Before you go shopping, have you checked under the fridge for it yet?
