So, bought a new Saint bash to replace my E-13 purely down to aesthetics as the E13 is clear and the Saint is black to match the bikes.
So, due to the E-13 being a thicker bash i have to use long chainring bolts, the Saint bash needs short bolts... OK fine, i have a set of them...
However.. !!!! The bolt heads are too small on BOTH sets of bolts for the size of the 4 holes on the bash... WTF !. I've got tonnes of spacers/washers etc, but none of the right size for the bolt and the hole size... Grrrrr. The bolt heads are about 0.5mm too large for the bolt holes...
Anyone have or know of what i need etc ?
