FAQs
What material are these chainring bolts made from?
They are made from lightweight yet strong 7075 T6 alloy aluminum.
How much does a set of these bolts weigh?
A set of five bolts weighs approximately 10 grams.
Are these bolts suitable for triple chainring setups?
No, these bolts are specifically designed for double chainring cranksets.
What color options are available?
These specific bolts are black. Other colors like Gold and Silver may be available for this model.
How many bolts are included in a pack?
Each pack contains a set of 5 bolts.
Can I use these on any crankset?
They are designed for double chainring cranksets with standard chainring bolt dimensions. Always confirm compatibility with your specific crankset before purchase.
What is the recommended torque setting?
While specific recommendations vary by crankset, a general range is 8-12 Nm. Always consult your crankset manufacturer's documentation for the precise torque specification.
Troubleshooting
Bolts won't thread in
Check that you are using the correct bolt size and type for your chainring and crankset. Ensure threads are clean and free of debris. Do not force the bolts; if resistance is met, remove and inspect threads for damage.
Chainring wobble after installation
Ensure all five bolts are tightened evenly and to the correct torque specification. Verify that the chainring is seated properly against the crank spider or inner chainring.
Stripped bolt head
This can occur from overtightening or using an incorrect tool. If the bolt head is stripped, you may need specialized extraction tools to remove it. Use the correct tool and torque for future installations.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly reduces weight compared to standard steel bolts.
- Durable 7075 T6 alloy construction provides longevity.
- Aesthetically pleasing black finish.
- Cost-effective upgrade for weight-conscious cyclists.
Cons
- Only suitable for double chainring setups.
- Lighter material may be less resistant to overtightening damage than steel.
- Small component, easily lost if not handled carefully during installation.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure you have a compatible chainring bolt tool. Clean the threads on both the bolts and the crank arm/chainring interface before installation. Tighten the bolts evenly and sequentially to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification (typically around 8-12 Nm, but always check your crankset's manual) to ensure secure mounting and prevent damage.
Compatibility: These bolts are designed specifically for double chainring cranksets. They are compatible with most standard double chainring bolt patterns. Always verify your existing chainring bolt size and type before purchasing.
Care: Clean the bolts periodically with a soft cloth and mild degreaser if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the anodized finish. Periodically check for tightness, especially after the first few rides, and re-torque if necessary.
