Hey! You are missing the other gears! This was catastrophic. What happened to the rest of them! :lol:

Yup....had the same thing happen on a E13 ring on my SS on Main Divide going to Motorway.

Bent the ring pretty good. Fortunately I had some zip ties in my pack. Bent the ring back with a rock, and zip ties the holes with the missing bolts. Was able to complete the ride. Ended up having to replace the ring.

Much more diligent about checking them now.

Similar story to mtnbikej, lost two bolts racing up at rim nordic and used two twist ties that hold your number plate to get me to the finish. I also check them regularly now.

I don't run a spider when I have a single chainring. Nice spiderless interface cranks out there like Middleburn and White Industries.

While replacing the chain ring, I found that the crank arm was also damaged. Turning into a very expensive fix.

I lost all 4 bolts riding down Toads once and I carry chainring bolts and just replaced them when I got to the bottom. I figured I sheared them off going down.

You burn more calories when your chain isn't attached to anything...

zip ties that strong? assuming you were on the SS and climbing.

Yes....it was 2-3 tip ties per bolt hole.
