One last question on this, will the wore down chain rings ruin my chain faster than normal? At one point should I be going for new chain rings?
Thanks!
Believe it or not, there's no damage to those chainrings. The ugly teeth with cutaway sides or the ones that are only half as tall as their neighbors were stamped that way at the factory to aid shifting.

Some wear can be seen here and there, but don't buy new rings until a new chain skips on them.
