    probably normal, there can be slight differences between teeth to facilitate the chain moving, if you check carefully you will see repeating patterns.

    See, they return, and bring us with them.

    I've found this more noticable on Shimano - Several of my cassette sprockets have teeth that are twisted (in addition to slightly different profiles and ramps).
    I find Shimano to be smoother shifting than my Campag. bike.
