So, I've replaced this bolt a few times because when I would torque down my axle the chain adjust would move with the bolt and cause the chain adjuster bolt to bend.
I finally replaced the bolt with a 8mm class 8.8 bolt instead of the stainless steel / weak bolt that was on it. Now it doesn't bend and seems much more sturdy.
The issue I have, is the groove the bolt sits in seems too shallow, like the bolt could easily slip out if something happened. Is there a way I could cut a deeper groove into the frame??? I just have no idea what technique would work for this or the pros / cons. I was thinking a rotary tool with a round diamond file bit or something. idk Suggestions?
