Yeah Cheeky is your best bet, but as you say they aren’t open today
Depending on where you are you could also try Wooleys Wheels on Oxford street or Europa on Anzac Parade near the Doncaster pub. I loathe both of these shops Woolys cause it’s too expensive and Europa cause they’re just plain shite, but when you need parts, you need parts and anywhere will do!
Who said you need a dedicated BMX shop? :roll: All you need is somewhere that sells something above the bottom of the line BMX. I can walk into half a dozen Brisbane shops within a 5 km radius that I know stock single chainring bolts. I don’t believe that Sydney can’t match that.
A quick Google suggests that Alstar Cycles or The Bicycle Store should be able to help but I have no idea of Sydney geography. Even a MTB-focused store would do, there are lots of DH and jumping rigs running single chainrings. mtb-oz
You’ve probably sorted the problem by now I suppose . You know the replaceable hangers on geared bikes? they come with chainring bolts that are the perfect length. So if any bike shop is replacing these the old part has the bolt as well as the new , so the shop will have extra bolts , if the keep them!
Oh I dunno, it’s quite good fun cutting/filing them down (some people polish rims for recreation). Just that you need to drop $15 on a hacksaw blade, a file etc.
its really not that hard, if you look closely, most longer bolts have a “flange” between the thread and the actual end of the open screw side. so its not that risky. On the other hand if u do, just a couple of back and forth twists with the screw can correct the thread.
