I've had a similar issue but on the drive-side. Also the chainring on mine is quite sharp on its inner diameter. Having just changed to another chainring I don't think the spider is machined very well the fit was so unbelievably tight. The ring only sitting properly when the bolts were tightened.

Not just you. I had to cut one a stronglight crankset off a bike due to sripped threads from the self extractor dust caps.
Buy a crankpuller and bin the self extracting caps. You can use an old spoke cut down and bent into a U shape - insert into the holes of the dust cap and twist to remove them..

Agreed. Risers rule. I've put some mudguards on this thing and a few other practical bits. One thing I've found is the bolts and self x-tractor bit on the stronglight crankset is soft as butter. I was backing out the NDS crank arm and the extractor bit just popped out and stripped part of the threads on the crankarm. Or maybe it's just me. Thinking of putting a different crankset on.
