One of the small lads got a new bike last week. When cleaning it after FoD yesterday we noticed it's got a bent tooth on gear 6...
I was going to put something behind it and hammer/persuade it straight ?
Ignore, all sorted.
Adjustable spanners are the tool of choice for this and chainrings. They clamp down nicely and allow a decent force. Or a vice of course.
Care to share your technique?
I bent a SRAM cassette a few weeks back and no amount of brute force was bringing that back in line. It was something around the 28t cog that was bent for a quarter of its circumference. I chucked it away in the end but given the current parts issues if it happens again I need a fix!
Vice mate.
Tightened it using vice itself which got it 90%, then just that single tooth on its own and bent it the final bit.
I use a set of small molegrips for this. Works well.
