Help identify this chainring...

...it appears to be NOS, 90s era, with weird cut-off teeth.

Bikes: Yes, please.

That's what happens when you mount your FD too low. You've got about five more shifts left on that.

Could be a number of different brands; without any ID on the chainring itself, it's a crapshoot. The teeth are supposed to be like that, to facilitate shifting.
If it was the FD that caused that, then all of the teeth would show wear marks, which they do not.

Looks like my 40T Shimano. The cut-off teeth are indeed intentional.

Yes, it looks NOS. I have no idea who made it. Does it really matter?
