Wrong thread?

Yeah, I'm not sure who started with the 5/6mm allen chainring bolts (sex-bolts as I heard a fellow BMX kid in the 80s call them), but props to SRAM for making them something you're actually likely to come across. Shimano's fancy expensive 3D big rings with the torx bolts are better again, though... Although it would be nice if they used a softer thread-locking compound - I think one time it even actually ripped metal out of a female thread on me.

The double allen key bolts are a big improvement over the stupid butter knife/ flathead screwdriver/ silly bespoke chainring nut tool you used to need before - and an example of simplification since you surely already have an allen key set
