First time I've seen them :s... Cheers they are, had to use them cos it was a triple chainset adapted to single and the bolts were too long, or you can get shorter bolts I spose |

I went to local bike shop who dug into lots of little pots and came up with short collars for the bolts to go into.
50p each, bargin.

Scuse my ignorance, but isn't it easier to just put single ring bolts in?

Yes but you'd have a step where the outer ring was, just smoothes it out and is a little easier on the eye, we are bike tarts after all.

Good man stu,get it whacked on  did you get the reverb sorted? The whole bike is getting stripped down this weekend Paul. Luckily the reverb is still under warranty so I've sent it back to Germany today. Turns out I was riding round hammers the other week with a shagged bottom bracket, I couldn't believe how much resistance there is in my cranks. This coupled with the dodgy seat post, no wonder I was knackered lol. So the whole bike is getting a good going over including going 1x10 and a fork service I knew you'd be persuaded Stu |

If I don't like it I can always go back |

That just looks wrong to me. Another gimmick by the industry to make the 'must haves' part with their cash? |
