I've had several issues with chainring bolts working loose. I've now got 1 that wont fully tighten at all. The threads engage for a couple of turns, but it then simply goes slack again before nipping up.
This is on a shimano 105 5800 chainset so unfortunately the bolt isn't the older 2 part device, but simply screws directly into the spider.
What's the best way to fix this (preferably short of replacing the chainset)? I'd thought of wrapping ptfe tape round the bolt, or using glue/threadlock but not sure if either will work.
