psycholist Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Get a chainring bolt and either grind, sand or file it shorter so it sits flush with the outside of the hanger and the inside of the frame. It is an unusual spare part because not many people lose them as pretty much the only time the bolt is removed is when the hanger breaks...
