Chainrings

Topbanana0

Hi I have 'Scott Scale 80' and I have notice the middle chainring (32t) is bent.
What I would like to know is, can I get away with changing the chain rings only? The rest of the chain and cassette look fine. Also I don't want to spend lot of money upgrading a cheep bike.
The chain rings I have been looking at are, 'Superstar Components' '7075 CNC Chainring set' @ only £31.49. Which I think is good value. Will they work ok with the shimano components on my bike.
Cheers

What is the make and model of chainset? Often they can be bent back.

Also you only have to replace the one bent chainring- no point buying yourself the wole set

Middles are quite hard to bend. Spider maybe out.

The chain set is 'Shimano FC-M430-8 Octalink, 44x32x22 T'
The centre chain set is bent, and I have straightened it a bit. But would still like to replace it.
The superstar set for just over £30, must be worth changing all three

Why buy a set if only the middle is messed up though?

Pretty much the same price as a single ring.

Wow, that's weird, but don't bin the ones you have at the moment then, keep them as spares for when you bend them...
