I need to help someone out whose chainring bolt came (?) off and he bent his chainring out of shape. He wants to replace it but he (and I) need help choosing/finding a new chainring. He has got a converted singlespeed but couldn't tell me the make of the crank, only that his chainring has five bolts.
Is there one size for all single speed cranks? Or will we have to pay attention to the bolt circle diameter? I read up on Sheldon Brown but wasn't quite sure what I need. http://www.sheldonbrown.com/gloss_bo-z.html#bcd
Finally, is there anyone who can sell a chainring and bolts cheapish?
BCD is important, find that out and then you're good to go.

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
