I have a slightly bent large ring on my Trek 2100. I tried to tweak it back, but while it seems to run OK forwards, if I pedal backwards (or do it on the stand, like to lube the chain) it will derail the chain.
Sooooo, I need to replace it. The bike has a Bontrager crank now, and I was considering upgrading the crank now. How do the Bontrager cranks stack up? Would a 105 crank be a step up in quality? And most important, will I need to buy a new BB to change brands from Bontrager to Shimano?
Should I just buy a new chainring and forget it?
Thanks!
