Troubleshooting
Chainring bolts are difficult to thread
Ensure you are using the correct bolt for the chainring and crank spider. Check for any debris in the threads or bolt holes and clean them. Do not force the bolts; ensure they are aligning correctly.
Chainrings feel loose after installation
Ensure all five bolts are installed and tightened correctly and evenly. Re-check the torque specification for your crankset and tighten accordingly. If the issue persists, there may be wear on the chainring or crank spider.
Bolt head strips during installation
Use a high-quality Allen key that fits snugly. If the head is already damaged, you may need a specialized bolt extractor tool to remove it.
