I've got an entry level Mongoose threshold from about
7 years ago that is starting to jump teeth when standup
pedaling from a stop. The chain wants to jump off to the
middle ring.
Although the chain and cogs have been replaced several
times, the rings have never been replaced. They're those
cheapo stamped steel rings on a crank that is attached by
rivets rather than bolts.
Can I drill out the rivets and replace the large ring
as one would a higher end crank/ring component? I'm certain
I can wander around the local hardware store to find some
sort of attachment nut/bolt combo to *make it fit*, but I
was wondering if I could just go to a bike shop and they
would have the correct bolts.
Although I've replaced chains and cogs many times on several
bikes, surprisingly, I've always had the shop do over my
chainrings, so I'm not up on the details of how they're
attached beyond various size bolt patterns.
