Let us know what you find. Most of my chainring replacements were done on the clock, so I never had time to experiment. I just followed the manufacturer's instructions, made sure it worked, and gave it back to the customer. And if it didn't work, I can't tell you how many hundreds of hours I worked staring at the thing on the workstand, tweaking this and that, and studying it in slow motion (especially front derailleurs), trying to understand what I missed. You'd say that my experimentation was always directed at making something work rather than knowledge for its own sake. If solving a problem made me smarter, so much the better.
