I've just got a set of the a2z outer chainring bolts and they've come with inner ones as well. I've either used steel or Ti in the past, but wondered if anyone on here has any experience of using alloy ones?

Personally, I'm not sure if they'd be strong enough.

    I bought some once and they were OK. Just needed a bit of care & lube when tightening. Allegedly some people have sheared them when pedalling but I never had any problems.

    Hmm, that's the issue. I'm a bit of a grinder with gears, and think I'd probably shear them.
