Using these Wolf Tooth chainring bolts is a breeze. First, make sure your chainring is clean and free of any debris. Then, insert the bolt through the chainring and use a 4 mm hex key to hold it in place. Next, place the nut on the other side and use a 6 mm hex key to tighten it. Remember to apply a little light grease only on the threads before tightening to the recommended 7 - 8 NM torque. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the bolts for any signs of wear or looseness. If you notice any issues, replace them right away. Keep them clean and dry to prevent rusting. Also, when storing your bike, make sure these bolts are secure to avoid any damage.
