	Tried to swap out my 32T ring for a 34 and seemed to strip 3 out of 4 bolts! Doh. Noticed afterwards a nut on back side of ring. Do you need a really wide screwdriver to hold it? As it is, it looks like 2 of the bolts are actually breaking apart!? Like weak alloy or something. I imagine I can buy a new set of retaining hardware? Hopefully? Hate to have my "affordable" 1x10 set up get costly!

	Yes, you can use a big screwdriver on the back. That is the nut. It is just recessed into the backside of the ring. You can pick up extra bolts for a couple of bucks. You need to make sure you get some for a single ring. Some are made to go through 2 rings and will be too long.

	They also make a tool for the chainring bolts. And get stainless steel bolts instead of aluminum. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) correction: chromed steel, not stainless steel.
