    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

In order to change my front sprocket I was forced to drill the heads off of three of the sprocket cover bolts. I have been to all of the local hardware stores and the local bike shops, with no luck.

Does anyone by chance have these lying around or have a resource where I can get them? They are M6x1.0 threads.
 
If you are in a pinch, try McMaster-Carr. Their URL is http://www.mcmaster.com/ They've got a selection of metric cap screws. Go to their site and search for "Metric Cap Screws". On page 2920 of their catalog, they've got a bunch of 6mm x 1.0 in lengths from 8mm up to 50 mm. The down side is that you'll have to buy a whole box (quantity 100). But the whole box will cost between 3 and 10 bucks, depending on length. Then, you'll have a lifetime supply. :)
