Bent the Crank!

@#%@ I bent one of my chainrings. I have a Specialized Strongarm II. Yesterday I was riding on the street, shifting from the middle chainring to the largest chainring. The chain snagged, got stuck, and bent the middle chainring. Let's just say that at this point I am not happy. That bike is about 2 months old. This kind of crap should not be happening.

I'm going to call up the LBS and check and see if it's still under warranty. I don't want to deal with this right now.

I've heard a lot better things about the Specialized cranks vs. Shimano cranks, but maybe it's just frustration in general.
