:cursing: I was tightening a cam bolt on my bike and put a little too much pressure on it :damnmate: and I don't have anything to get it out at the moment so I was wondering if I would still be able to go ride till I can fix it? :confused-smiley-013 what would your guys opinion be can you run a bike with 2/3 cam bolts? cheers in advance
 
Me personally , I'd ride it, just don't over tighten the other 2, a little loctite on them wouldn't hurt either as extra insurance.
Whatever you do don't try to get the snapped bolt out with an easy out or stud extractor, once you snap one of those in there you wont ever drill it out. I tend to have good luck drilling out bolts, as long as you have good drill bits and maybe a centre punch to centre the smallest/first bit . The fact that you snapped it easily means it will probably drill out easily
