Shimano Dura-Ace FC-7710 Track Chainring Bolts

Remember the "for want of a horseshoe nail the battle was lost?" story? The same cautionary tale can apply to the small but essential parts on your bike. The Shimano Dura-Ace FC-7710 Track Chainring Bolts have to hold up to a lot of punishment that comes from the pure power output that a serious track rider naturally generates. And since chain rings in track riding and racing can be changed fairly regularly, the bolt has to be relied upon to hold it all together even after multiple screwing and unscrewing. 

 

The Dura-Ace FC-7710 Track Chainring Bolts have a 5mm head and use an Allen wrench to tighten and loosen. You can be secure in the thought that it will screw firmly into the crank since the inner side of the nut is serrated so that the nut will adhere to the crank, which also means that you only need one Allen wrench. Made from steel, they are perhaps a touch heavier than some made from alu', but never underestimate just how much that extra durability is worth, and the cost of rotating weight on the track is minimal.

 

The Dura-Ace FC-7710 Track Chainring Bolts are intended for use only with the Shimano Dura-Ace FC-7710 Track Crank. Now the race won’t be lost for want of a reliable chain ring bolt.
