I put my bikepacking ride on the stand knowing it needed a sticky rear mech fixing & new limit screws fitting on the front but I was gutted to find so much corrosion on the chainrings. It was cleanish last time I rode it maybe 18 months ago. Nearly all of the finish on the middle & small chainrings has flaked off & the middle one has delaminated & spread so the chain can't run on the grannie ring. Is this a common issue?
These chainrings seem hard to find at a reasonable price but I was able to find a complete crankset in great condition. Bike is now running sweet but if it happens again I'll be looking at a more economical replacement - maybe something more recent or modern. I'd like to stick with 3x.
