chainring advice

chuffa

HI All
After a particularly hard (but satisfying) ride yesterday i have broken several teeth on two of the 3 chainrings.
I now need to change these and may possibly upgrade.
I currently have HG-53 FSA Dynadrive 44/32/22.
what are my options and should i be looking to replace the crankset or just the rings.
cheers

Sure they're broken? Chainrings have odd shaped teeth to aid shifting.

if the bottom bracket and crank arms are fine why not just change the rings and keep what you have?

although sometimes buying a whole new crankset can be only a few more pounds compared to buying multiple chain rings.

have a browse online and workout what works best for you.

They're definately broken.i recall hearing some nasty noises when i was pushing hard.My mate has the same set and his all look ok.

i have the same chainset and had problems shifting with the fsa rings and changed the granny and middle for deore ones i think i got both for £20 ish , i ditched the outer and now run it with just the 2 inner rings.
