I'm going to acquire a new crankset for my bike, but i haven't got many knowhow or expirience on mountain bikes. I went to a shop and they shown me a crankset from shimano (at least, it had a sticker).
When i looked to the crankset it's teeths weren't all the same size, and some looked like that were broken. :confused:
Is this normal? shouldn't all teeths be equal? Is the shop guy trying to rip me off? :confused:
He said to me that that crankset has indexed gears so it's normal to that all teeths are all diferent sizes and shapes...
Can someone help
