Product Details

Overview & Technology

SRAM Aeroguard Bolt Kit (Model CR-SPP-A0) is a purpose-built 5-piece chainring bolt and nut set engineered for SRAM's Aeroguard chainring guards and 5-bolt road chainrings. Each steel fastener is finished in black for a discreet, factory look and engineered to withstand the repetitive loads and micro-movements encountered on the road. The kit includes bolts sized M8.5x7.0 and M8.5x5.0 to suit the staggered thicknesses used with Aeroguard systems. Made from hardened steel, these fasteners prioritize strength and fatigue resistance—ideal where reliability matters more than minimum weight.

Key Features

Durable steel construction: Hardened steel bolts and mating nuts resist wear and provide secure clamping force that keeps chainrings and Aeroguard plates aligned under load. OEM fit and finish: Black finish and exact sizing (M8.5x7.0 and M8.5x5.0) match SRAM's original specification for Aeroguard installations, making this a direct replacement or spare parts solution. • Kit quantity: 5 bolt/nut sets • Sizes included: M8.5x7.0 and M8.5x5.0 (for staggered Aeroguard fit) • Finish: black coated steel for a low-profile look

Fit & Compatibility

This bolt kit is specifically produced for SRAM Aeroguard chainring guards and 5-bolt road chainrings that use an M8.5 thread. It’s the OEM part (SRAM Part # 11.6918.008.000 / Manufacturer # 11.6918.008.000) designed to replace worn or lost fasteners without modifications. Before ordering, confirm your crankset uses a 5-bolt pattern with M8.5 thread pitch. While these bolts will fit many 5-bolt road chainrings, always check the crank/chainring manual or measure existing hardware to verify compatibility.

Who It's For

Ideal for road cyclists, mechanics, and home wrenchers who demand a reliable, OEM-spec replacement for Aeroguard-equipped setups. If you run a double or sub-compact road crank with a chainring guard or simply want robust steel hardware that won’t stretch or round under torque, this kit is a practical choice. Also great as a spare-parts solution for teams, shops, or riders who want to keep a ready replacement set for on-the-road repairs or maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is included in the Aeroguard Bolt Kit?

The kit contains five steel bolt-and-nut assemblies sized to match SRAM Aeroguard applications (M8.5x7.0 and M8.5x5.0). It’s intended as a direct OEM replacement set for 5-bolt chainring systems using Aeroguard hardware.

Will these bolts fit my 5-bolt chainrings?

They fit 5-bolt road chainrings and Aeroguard guards that use M8.5 threads. Confirm your crank/chainring assembly uses M8.5 thread pitch and a 5-bolt pattern before purchasing to ensure compatibility.

Can I use threadlocker or lubricant on these bolts?

Light blue or medium-strength threadlocker is acceptable when specified by your crank or chainring manufacturer; use it sparingly. For installation, a drop of grease on the threads can prevent seizure on steel-on-steel assemblies if threadlocker isn’t needed. Always follow SRAM's or your crankmaker’s torque recommendations.

What torque should I use when installing these chainring bolts?

Follow the torque spec in your crank or chainring manual—typical chainring bolt torque ranges vary by manufacturer. Even, cross-pattern tightening and checking torque after a few rides is recommended to prevent loosening.

Are these bolts suitable for carbon chainrings or spiders?

The steel bolts provide strong clamping force, but extra care is required with carbon components. Use a carbon assembly paste where recommended and stick to the torque limits specified by the carbon component manufacturer to avoid damage.

Is this an OEM SRAM part number?

Yes. This listing corresponds to SRAM part number 11.6918.008.000 (Model ID CR-SPP-A0), making it an authentic OEM replacement for Aeroguard systems.

Buying Guide

When choosing chainring bolts, prioritize fit, material, and intended use. Steel bolts like the SRAM Aeroguard kit offer superior strength and fatigue resistance—ideal for riders who value durability and secure clamping over minimal weight. Confirm thread size (M8.5 for this kit) and bolt spacing (5-bolt pattern) to ensure a direct fit. Consider alternatives only if you need lighter weight (aluminum or titanium) or anti-theft options; otherwise, OEM-spec steel fasteners provide reliable, long-lasting service and straightforward maintenance for road setups equipped with Aeroguard guards.
