Just rounded off one of the little allen key bolts that hold my non-drive side crank on (Saint cranks). Is it just wishful thinking to assume that if the bolt rounded off when I was tightenig it (with a torque wrench, no less!) then it's tight enough to not have to worry about immediately?

    I'd think about removing it asap before it has a chance to possibly corrode.

    Interesting actually, i rounded a bolt with a torque wrench. thankfully it diddnt round too badly and i was able to unscrew it. the bolt can be replaced with a brake mounting bolt [:)]

    Something round here tastes bad. Could be plain old bad taste.
