Hi out there, I have 2 chain ring bolts that will not come out of my Vuma quad cranks. [ I got out the big one and a normal one]
I can drill them out its not an issue.

I did fit a normal chainring bolt in to the one [ normal size] bolt I removed but they do not sit flush like the Vuma bolts.


I will need to find replacements though what do you recommend, lightest possible.

regards Ray J

Thanks Mike.

What Bolts though are quad users opting for. Because I have to replace 2 bolts I would prefer ones that sit flush.

The light alloy ones I tired don't sit as flush as the original quad bolts and have the usual 2 pieces rather than the 1 piece like the bolts that come with the crank.

Thanks Tuba. It seems that I have to use after market bolts with Fibre lyte chain-rings. I'm not sure your bolts would fit [3]

Does someone know for sure if that's true?


Cheers Tuba.
