Bent crankset
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.
