  1. Hey,

    On my crankset, the middle ring is bent, so, as a result, sometimes the chain gets snagged. How should I go about fixing this? Buy a new one? Bend it back? What?

    Your help is very much appreciated!

    Thanks

    Unbolt the ring and try flatening it with a rubber hammer on a large block of wood.
    Sometimes a crescent wrench can help take bends out of teeth.
    Aluminum doesn't handle lots of bending well, so take your time, and when you are satisfied, take a close look for cracks... I guess there already may be cracks and replacement is your option.
