Pulled this crankset off of a damaged frame that I bought for the groupset etc. Does this look like it has plenty of life left yet? Or is it a case of just try it and see?
EDIT: Thanks all – I’ll look into a new crankset / chain rings.

Zero?
About 200 miles ago.
You can try it and see but it looks pretty worn, definitely doesn’t have a lot of life in it left. Notice the metal burring especially on the smaller cog.
It looks like it lived a hard life. RIP
How close are you to inventing time travel?
The teeth look like the dorsal fins of a shark
A new chain and a load will tell you.
That chainring is in hospice. The nurse has said it’s time to call the family to come over. They better hurry.
Oof. Probably should replace that my dude.
Thanks all – time to look for (at least) a new chain ring.
What the hell happened to your crank arm?
As wall art it’ll last forever. Toast otherwise
Replacement rings are readily available for that crankset if you are interested in them.
It’s ready to cut the lawn now
I think I got these numbers from zero friction
New 9.5mm from trailing cog edge to leading.
9.7mm used but ok
9.8mm skip while sprinting/rough shift
9.9mm + rough new chain and jumping at 400w

Yes, Zero
I’m guessing Wednesday around 10:45 am…
Zero.
About one crank
In my less than expert expert opinion, I think it’s got about -500km left before it’s due for replacement.
