Chipped tooth on crank
 

I have a chipped tooth on large front crank. Just one, and just a little bit. Is that a problem?

Don't worry about it.

I'll bet that it's not just one. Look exactly opposite and see if you can find another one just like it. They're shifting aids that are designed into the chainring.

Well, if you click on the thumbnail, you'll see that there's a little chunk out of that tooth that's not all black.

Different than shifting aids.

Looks like somebody hit a good-sized rock or sump-um similar-like, hard-wise, with the lower center chunk of their bike.


How's the shifting and/or running on/off the outer chainring? OK? Then don't worry.

You could take a fine-toothed file to that chip just to smooth things off.

Yea, that was cut off when I broke my chain..

I don't know how it feels yet, I only received new RD today, waiting for cable. Will post once I ride it. Thanks.

+1 on the file (if you need it)
