I've lost 5 in the last 6 weeks. They just unscrew themselves and jump out as I'm motoring along.
Previous threads have extolled the virtues of using grease to prevent clicking/creaking noises, but will this also prevent chainring bolts making their bid for freedom?
Or has anyone got any other tips that might stop this happening?

Any advice gratefully received - thanks!

NB anyone to suggest doing them up tighter can help themselves to a slap in the face and a cold, refreshing glass of shutup juice from the counter by the door on the way out...

threadlock.

use a peg spanner and tigten up.

Keep losing chainring bolts
No thanks. That's a silly suggestion.

Whenever I have a niggling problem like this I just switch bikes for a while.

Heh heh heh....+ rep

I'll 2nd the motion for threadlock.

sugino chainring bolts... knurled sides to grip the chainring... give them a go! Condor cycles or similar.

Superglue! And have you tried doing them up harder?

yup, chainring peg spanner is the key.

are they steel?

alloy bolts are fucking crap

Have you welded your BB in now, or does it keep unscrewing?

ooo interesting... theyve been ok for me... i'll check

CrMo steel

The ones that came with my S75 cranks were shocking. Got some steel ones from Cavendish for a quid each and they've been great.

Don't 'motor along'.

They'll stay put if you pedal more sedately, keeping your ankles covered up at all times.

Cheers all. Have been using a peg spanner but to no avail.
They're probably not the best bolts, but will give the threadlock a go.

you asked me this on thurs, and i gave you the same answer???? ya dopey bollox

hehe, whoops!

And it took you an hour between your posts to realise?

Who's being dopey bollox now??....

i realised, i told him first. was waiting for him to come back on line :) so ner

ner ner ner neeeeer neeeeeeer :0p

if they keep coming loose when seeimgly done up tight, it could be that they are not narrow enough. The bolt needs to be clamping against the surface of the chainring & spider. If it isnt (the bolt mereley reaching the end of its threads) it is likeley to come loose, some washers or narrower bolts will help you here.

No one???

HTFU!!!!!!!!

Do them up tighter you feeble almost-male!

I use a chainring tool (little 2-pronged jobbie) and an allen key and I've only had one vanish (which was probably murtle's fault anyway).
