Worn/broken chainwheel teeth?
I was cleaning my drivetrain and noticed that on my big chainwheel, two or three non-consecutive teeth are slightly shorter than the others. They don't seem broken (as in snapped), just smoothly worn out.
I don't seem to have any problems with shifting, or with teeth skipping. Should I be concerned? (I'd just need to replace that chainwheel, correct?)
