RobinJI Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Chances are the chain ring will deform where the bolts are missing with big flatsposts in it and totaly wreck it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 they are meant to be threaded though? thats how bolts work.anyway, if they are stripped. you could drill thought the bash and just run long bolts and nuts (depending on setup).

Ash-Kennard Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 so have you got a middleburn bash ring? and you have stripped the threads which holds the chainring to it? if so, give mr clive leeson a ring, he will not only machine it down for you, but will drill them out and put cups in, like a mech hanger attaches, all for only ten pounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
