how many km/miles should a normal crankteeth can handle before it should be replaced? for example: 50% of xc riding and 50% of urban riding(My crank is a 01 ritchey comp from a complete bike).
thank you very much for your advice...

When the teeth wear, they look sharp and pointy, so that the ends have no roundness.

then again, maybe he's cross-chaining.
