The chainring bolt thing was the issue I was most skeptical about. That would explain why I have been unable to find 9-Speed specific bolts.
However, I am hearing arguments both ways on the 9-Speed specific chainrings. I am running a non-ramped and pinned triple that was mated to a seven speed cassette.
Are you guys sure this things is ever going to shift right without 9-speed specific chainrings? If I can find something ramped and pinned would probably help too.
Thanks,
