I have managed to round off one of the hex bolts on my chain ring and I want to get some new bolts to replace those that are in it. Its the stock chain ring off a Giant Trance 2012.

These seem to fit the bill, but I am not sure - can anyone advise?

While I am at it I probably need to invest in some decent hex/allen keys (this is not the first bolt I have rounded - also did the one in the service end of a nano pedal) to replace the Lidl ones I have. Can any one recommend some good keys that wont break the bank?

Thx

    Get the Park Tools allen keys, and those bolts are fine. Buy from CRC though, as Wiggle are evil :D

    Do those need the special tool to fit in the notches on the back or do you just need 2 hex keys?

    The 4/5/6mm Park Tools hex keys on the triangular tool are pretty good
