Plastic bashguard and chaingring bolt torque
I have a compact double on my commuter, and I haven't shifted to the big ring for like a year. I have a 3D printer and am thinking about replacing the big ring with an ornamental 'bash guard' (and also ditching the shifter and mech)
How tight do chainring bolts need to be (given the force is always orthogonal to the tightening direction), and would that crush plastic?
(For those that know 3D printing, I only ever use PLA, which is not as hard as other materials such as PETG or ABS)
