Basically, the bolt from my profile racing cranks has reached the end of it's life and I need a new one. I've tried all things I can think of, however can't find anything that'll fit.
Anyone know of a bolt that works?
EDIT: Think I worded badly above, the bolt it need is for holding the sprocket into the crank arm.
Appears to be an M8, but it's the length of the bolt/screw that's an issue, when trying to find something in the past. Might just have to get more washers and hope that'll let me get it tight enough to stop the sprocket moving.

Profile use a different thread to most other companies (not sure what it is!) Best bet is get down to your LBS and ask if there are any lying about, failing that, try at the local park / trails
Do you use one of them to hold the sprocket onto the crank? (the bolt i need)
As profile is American company it's an imperial thread not a Metric thread like M8. Cheapest way is to take the bolt (if you don't have a thread gauge) to a nut and bolt supplier and ask them to size it and you'll take 2! (One spare!)
Or try any decent BMX shop who carry profile cranks etc, I think Wiggle do actually or if all else fails speak to Profile Europe who are based in England and they'll have one in stock.
