Bought an used VO chainset. Can’t tell if the big ring should be changed or not? It’s different from the small chainring but does it have life left? Thanks!

Looks like it’s getting close to the point where it would prematurely wear a chain, but not quite there. I personally would ride it as is unless a new chain skips over the teeth under hard pedaling. Definitely has life left.

I can’t help you there but I can advise you to make sure both dust caps are removable and in good shape (hex hole not wallowed out). I bought this crank (used) a few years ago and barely got one cap off, the other came off via destructive means. Otherwise the crank was fine!
