Double and bash, just noticed the 36t ring has a broken tooth. Chain isn't damaged. I thought 7075-T6 was tough as nails!

Weird and annoying

I've thought that too but it isn't even slightly rocky where I've been riding lately. Ho hum

Maybe the fell off in protest of having a bash guard but no rocks. ๐Ÿ™‚

Also gaurds against logs and assorted trail obstacles don't you know, anyhow it's scared enough to prove it's worth ๐Ÿ˜‰

Shifting gear on your chainset under load could shear a tooth.

My money would be on a downshift doing the damage.

i've bent/damage teeth a few times like that.
