Chainring bolt's sheared...well backnut actually)

[gbb]

Just a heads up really...
FSA chainset, RPM chainring bolts, just sheared one of the nuts while re-assembling

Torque wrench... shmork wrench, i never use one but perhaps it shows once in a blue moon. Ive usually got a feel for the tightness required, you don't really need to tighten most things up to oblivion, but just gave the bolt a little more...eek, that didnt feel right, the collar has sheared off the backnut.

Ah well, ive got some campag spares so all's well.

Don't overdo them, especially if they're not 'major' brand ones (RPM won't thank me for that )

The alloy ones do shear very easily. I've gone back to steel.

Steel is real.

I use old campag ones on the fixed and being knurled at the back you can welly them up with a pipe grip.
