I greased the threads on these rascals when I installed them - the original ones (that remained) looked to be un-greased, so I am hoping this will help to keep them tight and not let them seize up. It's as good as new now and rode flawlessly to the office today.Snak Shakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04096046603568003654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184428976951755087.post-58531392102037483852010-04-25T21:33:21.927-05:002010-04-25T21:33:21.927-05:00I've had the problem a few times.

It's best to Loctite them, but if you ride the crankset through the winter, be sure to disassemble and clean the bolts a few times or, as recently happened to me, they'll seize up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184428976951755087.post-71018311147145049232010-04-24T23:38:31.183-05:002010-04-24T23:38:31.183-05:00Weird.

I tend to have the opposite problem (where I can't get the damn things off and end up trying to drill them out and have to buy a new chainring after I bungle it up).<br /><br />I've heard other people report that they just aren't that into rail trails.

While I was doing one bike, thought I'd check the bolts on my commuter. Good thing, too, cause they was loose !! I can't recall ever checking chainring bolts as a maintenance item -- only when I removed the crank to clean it. jason mccloskeynoreply@blogger.com
