Durace crank problem
I was cleaning my bike today and have noticed this:

Not sure what you're referring to but if you're looking at the squared off teeth and such, that's normal. Chainrings have all sorts of weird angles, pins, ramps etc. to help shifting. Or am I missing it?

Wow the teeth on that crankset are so messed up!
I have an Ultegra crankset I will trade you for it if you want. I don't mind. |
Remember young padaweenie: flesh heals. Dura Ace doesn't.

Pcad. I don't know what Guads are, but if you mean the muscles of your thigh, then it should be Quads (as in quadricepts), or are Guads a BF inside joke........

A new chain every now & again,
Is good! Get as many miles out of your tires as you can, if that's your thing, but your chain buggers things up if you ignore it. |

OP - crank is fine. One of the reasons that Shimano cranks shift so well is because they actually take the time to engineer the teeth, lift pins and ramps to actually facilitate the chain coming up on to the ring. Often imitated - never duplicated. If you would prefer all of the teeth to look the same then I am sure someone would gladly trade you a POS crank for your DA one. I am sure I have a few laying around if you'd like to switch. |

Look closer,
Shark fins. Just walked 10 feet into my shop and checked out the 8 Shimano cranks I had sitting there and all of them have what you are describing as "shark fins" in the vari-tooth ring design. Normal. Real shark fins are un-mistakable. |

Ahh! That's the problem with being a relative newbie to BF.
