I just replaced my chain the other day after it snapped, but realized the cassette was also very worn and needed replacing. I was wondering if I should also replace the chain ring as well or if it’s fine like this? Thanks for the help.
If the chain and cassette were toast you should probably get a new chainring as well. I would recommend the steel eagle ones over the alloy. They are just a touch heavier, way cheaper, are stronger, and they run so much smoother.

you cant really tell visually. if a new chain skips then the cassette/chain ring is worn and needs to be replaced.

I mean, it looks like you have a broken tooth at about 7 o’clock, that alone should be enough reason.

Thanks for the input everyone! It was much appreciated I’ll be replacing it asap.

The chain ring is cooked. Replace
