Chainring Bolts Shimano FC-M985 XTR

I have the Shimano XTR FC-M985 Double ring crank set. I've lost 1 chainring Bolt. I need to replace it.
just wondering what I need to look out for. Just trying to save extra postage cost.
I know I can get the proper shimano chainring bolts from ebay.
but will these fit as well?

I'm out of action anyway. but since its comming from the same place & saves me a heap of postage. I was wondering if anyone knows if these will fit?

I'm also getting a chainring. My chain ring is toast as well.

Tubeless

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

I've just had my first experience with 'Stans', CO2 cannisters, & installing a tubeless tyre. Quite straight forward, thank you to YouTube!

I have XTR tubeless ready rims. I have this evening taken off Kenda Small Block 8's (wirebead - with an inner tube) and replaced it with a proper tubeless tyre (Maxxis LUST Crossmark).

Recent Giant test ride day

Did anyone go to the recent Giant 'Test Weekend' based around Ourimbah & Awaba?

I'm keen to hear about the new full carbon frame XTC 29er, and also the new XT or XTR drivetrain.

Anyone?

XTR crank help

A slight crank noise developed today during a spin, & I've found out what it was. The crank has about 1mm of slop moving left to right. (See photo below)

The arrow indicates where the 1mm slop is occurring. These cranks are slightly different to others I've had in the past. Any advice as to how to retighten them?

Fancy XTR gear... Discuss.

Well - I just purchased a second hand 2009 Anthem Ltd X. I have to sell my 2009 X2 Anthem now.

The reason for this post is in relation to all this XTR kit on my new bike. As much as some of it is lovely (eg, rims, gear shifts!), other parts (eg. brakes) seem no different at all. Besides the actual huge cost of XTR, I'm just wondering if any of the NoBMoB group have upgraded to XTR only to wish they hadn't? I certainly couldn't have afforded this bike brand new.

BTW - the bike is great. Smiling
