Sometime in the next day or so my small singlespeed experiment will begin, however it may well begin with two chainrings. I am right in thinking I will need shorter chainring bolts once I remove the big ring?
Deore Hollowtech II if it makes any difference.
Something like [url= http://www.ukbikestore.co.uk/product/54/cridb/id-cr-mo-chain-ring-bolts.html ]these from the UKBikeStore[/url] or [url= http://www.hubjub.co.uk/etc/etc.htm#rb ]these from Hubjub?[/url]
Anything more than a fiver seems a bit much and don't have any suitable washers, and don't want to trash the big ring.
Anywhere in Sheffield/Chesterfield area carry them in stock?
Yes, you need single ring half height bolts for just one ring.
do you have a sharp file? If so file them down.
Yup, you'll need shorter bolts. I.D. do some good ones for not much cash.
Pretty easy to cut them down, & it's only the female threaded part thats essential.
No sharp file and a fiver seems ok. Internet shopping here I come unless anyone has a shop with them in?
