Schtweetz on March 11, 2025 4:26 am Yes it is. The teeth are worn to points instead of having squared off tips.
micci_cat on March 11, 2025 4:44 am If it was my bike… Those rings get retired…along with the chain & cassette Don’t bolt on new rings with that chain ( & cassette)… you’ll prematurely kill them too. Keeping your chain clean & properly lubed goes a long way to maximize chainring & cassette life.
