How the hell do I get that 5th chainring bolt in a Sugino XD? The crank arm covers it, and there isn't even enough room to put the bolt there in the first place. What gives?

so stupid i won't even bother answering this stupid stupid question.

if you have to ask you lose.

Might want to look at one in person first

I'm holding it in my hands!

Do you have a picture of the underside of the crank arm?

Do that one first?

so if you take the chainring off completely, there's no way you can get the nut between the spider arm and the crank arm?

Now I do:



It doesn't fit, and if it did I couldn't tighten it.

I think you're supposed to put the nut in there and the bolt on the other side.

I thought about that, but the tool to hold the nut to keep it from spinning won't even fit, I guess I'll try it.

wow

just use ur finger to hold it to get it started, friction will do the rest

Hey it worked! That was too much effort. Thanks to the people who actually try to help.

I actually 'd at that wow, don't know why.




@Wounded, you owe me $10.

2.50 of that is totally mine bro

I hate the Sugino XD for this very reason.

yeah putting chainring bolts in rarely requires the tool.

+1. That is an incredibly stupid design.

we're only yanking your chain

You're screwed. Oh wait...you got it? Damn!
