Product Details

Overview & Technology

SRAM 4-Bolt Bashguard Chainring Bolts (Model ID CR-SPP-A0, MPN 11.6915.007.000, SKU 400224) are a purpose-built steel bolt kit engineered to fasten single chainrings and bash guards to 4-arm crank spiders. The kit includes long steel bolts finished in black to clear thicker bash guards and provide a secure clamping interface for narrow-wide or single-ring setups. The bolts use high-strength steel for impact resistance and reliable clamp force under trail punishment. Their length and head profile are optimized to pair with bash guards—keeping chainline stability and chain retention even when you take a rock or root to the drivetrain.

Key Features & Benefits

Built for bash guards: These bolts are long enough to pass through single chainrings and most aftermarket bash guards without sacrificing thread engagement. That extra length prevents stripped threads and improves safety on rough trails. • Material: High-strength steel for toughness and controlled deformation under impact. • Finish: Black corrosion-resistant coating suited to mountain use; recommend light grease or anti-seize for wet climates. • Design: 4-bolt kit matched to 4-arm crank spiders; intended for single-ring configurations with bash guards.

Fit, Compatibility & Installation

These bolts are intended for 4-arm cranksets and 4-bolt chainrings—typical of many SRAM and aftermarket cranks that accept a separate bash guard. They are not for direct-mount chainrings or 5-bolt spiders. Before purchase, confirm your crank uses 4× bolt pattern and that your bash guard thickness requires long bolts. Installation tip: apply a light amount of medium-strength threadlocker or grease to the threads depending on preference, align ring and bash guard, hand-start bolts, then tighten to the crankmaker's recommended torque. If torque specs are unknown, tighten progressively and evenly to avoid face distortion; check bolts after the first ride.

Who This Is For

This kit is ideal for mountain bikers running single-ring drivetrains with an external bash guard—trail, enduro, and bikepark riders who need extra clearance and protection for their chainrings. It's perfect for anyone replacing worn or stripped bolts or swapping in an aftermarket bash guard. Mechanics and home wrenchers will appreciate the straightforward fitment and durable steel construction, while riders upgrading to a bash guard will value the added bolt length and secure clamp they provide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these bolts fit my crankset?

These bolts fit 4-arm (4-bolt) crank spiders and are intended for single-ring setups with a bash guard. They will not fit direct-mount chainrings or 5-bolt spiders. Check your crank’s bolt pattern and chainring mounting style before purchasing.

Are these the correct length for all bash guards?

The bolts are longer than standard chainring bolts to accommodate most aftermarket bash guards, but thickness varies between brands. Measure combined thickness of your chainring plus bash guard and verify there is enough thread engagement on your crank; if in doubt, contact Forest Bikes for fit help.

What torque should I use when installing these bolts?

Follow your crank or chainring manufacturer’s recommended torque if available. If not specified, tighten evenly and progressively—hand-start all bolts, then snug in a star pattern. Avoid over-torquing; excessive force can deform chainring faces or strip threads.

Will the black finish prevent rust?

The black coating offers basic corrosion resistance, but steel hardware can still rust in salty or wet conditions. For long-term durability, apply a light film of grease or anti-seize to the threads and periodically inspect the bolts for corrosion.

Can I use these bolts with Shimano or third‑party chainrings?

Yes, as long as the chainring and crank use a 4-bolt pattern compatible with the bolt diameter and thread pitch. These are a common bolt form factor, but confirm thread pitch and bolt length requirements for non-SRAM cranks and rings.

Are replacement bolts sold individually or only as a kit?

This SKU is sold as a kit to provide a matched set for a single chainring and bash guard. For individual bolt replacement, check with Forest Bikes support for availability or spare part options.

Buying Guide

When buying chainring bolts for a bash guard, prioritize length, material, and thread compatibility. Long bolts are necessary to clear the guard and maintain sufficient thread engagement; steel offers strength and impact resistance while lightweight alloys can be more fragile under hard hits. Always match the bolt pattern (4-bolt vs 5-bolt or direct-mount) and thread pitch to your crank. If you ride in wet or salty conditions, consider using anti-seize or stainless options and check bolts regularly as part of routine drivetrain maintenance.
