| Sep 5, 2021 at 17:59 | comment | added | Scott Watkins | I didn't disassemble, the little bolts backed themselves out. Glad I caught it before the last 4 came out. | |
| Sep 5, 2021 at 16:41 | comment | added | MaplePanda | @Criggie You’re not meant to disassemble the chainring like that. It’s not like replacement chainring teeth are available for sale. | |

| Sep 5, 2021 at 8:12 | comment | added | Criggie♦ | @JoeK Sounds plausible - a security variant of a hex perhaps. However its not a place I'd expect to find a security bolt. Add a photo and that's an answer. | |

Minor copyediting - slx keeps reading as six which is confusing.

| Sep 5, 2021 at 8:10 | comment | added | Criggie♦ | Sounds like you also want some loctite or other thread locker, when assembling. | |
| Sep 5, 2021 at 6:42 | comment | added | Scott Watkins | maybe, whatever they are, i need 8 of them to fix my crankset,.....the decided to fall out | |
