Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I bought some Wolf Tooth Bolts because vanity is important (the bolts on my cranks are just fine and have had no issues but these are MUSA and look really swell):
and I picked up some rotors, cassette and a few other things to rebuild the DiscoTrucker. Plus I picked up some clothing and OR Dry bags to make into front panniers (or rear panniers for commuting or light touring).
I I feel like I should go into a volcano with these jonxs on my bike but everything would melt.

Oh my, those are purdy... Might have to get a set to keep the matchy-matchy going on my red/black steed...

And they're ok on a SS chainring?

That's why I want them. Not a huge fan of the slotted ones.

Alloy chainring bolts suck.

Knurled chainring bolts are where it's at.

Knurled chainring bolts are cheaper than that tool.

Yessir! They are of the same size and list as for a 130BCD (not that it really should matter) WTC says they are for 1x drivetrains and mine is a 1x1 so should be just dandy.

I think they are made in Romania ; )

However they make some really boss stuff. My old shop attempted to sell them but really didn't have the clientele for its awesomeness. I was hoping to get some but we never had my size.

True, but still..

Lot of their patterns are too wild but their simple ones look dope.
