Big gear wheel wear

[ridebikeme]

I agree with Deb on the painting/anodizing of your crank... chainrings. The one thing that I would mention though is that if you look carefully at your chainrings, quite often it will look as though you may have bent a tooth. That is NOT the case! If you look opposite of that particular tooth, you will find another tooth that looks the same.... many companies use this pattern as an aid to help in the shifting process. If you should have any questions, simply consult your LBS.

Enjoy the fall riding season!

Thanks for the replies. I've had another look and it does look just cosmetic. spun the pedals looked at the big gear wheel - everything looked smooth.


BTW Deb - 'slow your pedal speed for one or two revolutions as you shift on an uphill'

....see that was where I was going wrong initially - I was changing when I had reached a standstill and was just about to fall over
