Bent Chainring
So I was racing my bike today and my drivetrain kept seizing up. I would bacakpedal a couple rotations and then kick it forward again, and I'd be fine. But then I looked down when chain obviously came and much to my surprise, I find my chainring totally bent, maybe a 30 degree angle form the original plane to the new one. They are old square-taper suginos, steel, I think. with the chainring attached to the crank. Could I just bend it back? How could I prevent this from happening again?
thanks
