As you ,ay have noticed in other threads/responses of mine, I have a fixed wheel set-up to
refurbish. My current problem is the chainwheel. As single chain wheels seem as rare as crocodiles
in the River Lee the obvious solution is to use a redundant spider and fit an appropriate single
ring. There's the problem. I have a redundant shimano 26/36/46. Model unknown but crank marked
FC-A413. The rings appear to be held by bolts which accept approx 7mm allen key. However that will
not shift any of them. Before I get really vicious with them am I approaching this correctly? I do
not want to hit these bolts hard only to find they are not really bolts and that I should have
undone something else (i.e. done something with the slots inside the middle ring). Can anyone advise
me please? If all else fails, it looks like I will just have to fit this 26/36/46 (which will look a
bit silly on a fixed).
