In the process of replacing the chain & sprockets - only 10k from the last (DID) chain Road salt & ahem, perhaps not the best maintenance, had totally shagged it...
Anyway onto the topic in hand, I'm thinking of replacing the rear sprocket carrier bolts for some stainless items. But I can't find any part threaded ones with a low profile (button) head like the originals.
So do you reckon it'd be OK to use full threads ? I checked the originals and they aren't a close fit as there is play between it and the locating holes in both the sprocket & carrier.
And do you reckon they are in anyway stronger in shear than an off the shelf SS bolt?

Re: Rear sprocket carrier bolts
I replaced all my fasteners with ti nuts and bolts including the inner lock nut on the sprocket carrier bolts. Sorry cant help with the dome head s/s bolts
Re: Rear sprocket carrier bolts
While we're on the sprocket subject make sure to dump that crappy 16/40 oem, very poor chain to sprocket wear ratio,dont expect it to last very long!
