has anyone bent a 15mm axle pin?

[nafe]

I pretty much killed my 15mm axle bolt a few weeks ago when my chinese chain loosened, tightened and bent my chain tensioner.

i just wanna know if anyone else has done it and whered they get a new one (dreamrider has momentarily run out)

and hardware and minibike shops in the area are also out of em.

i was thinking of buying a M16 x 300 bolt from bunnings and sneaking into the workshop at tafe to lathe it down 1mm.

any better ideas?

and if your wondering YESS i did buy a new D.I.D chain

howd you bend the chain tensioner unless you had the chain running undes it???

tried the forum sponsors ? I'd say that Maylands would have them in stock

Failing that you can get them easily off DHZ on ebay
