Went with the e13, seemed a little stronger and it actually looks a little better IMO, also went from a 34t to a 38t. Really happy with the difference.

You can even see where it sheared.

Guess that's what happens when you buy "lite" parts...

Thats exactly what happened, should have checked my bike before taking off.

esp. with new builds.. these bolts (and others) set in .. after some rides.. maintainance is survival,,
