[#3114185]

have just replaced the chain and cassette on my specialized enduro with some sram kit. However middle chainring is skipping under load. The inner and outer don't look as worn as generally don't get the same use and didnt skip when i tried riding it.

Question is..... do i only replacement the middle chain ring or do i repalce the 3 of them (and/or cranks) and if so what do you currently recommend? (currently 22/32/44 4 arm)

Replace middle and probably inner with whatever you can find cheaply which fits your cranks. Outer rings last ages.

They are currently sepcialized chainrings, any issue with sticking in a shimano middle ring or will i get shifting issues?

Is it worth just replacing all 3 for a full new set up and with no worries??.....was looking at raceface evolve or team rings for around £65 - £85 or could pick up a deore middle ring for around a £10...

No need to replace the full set. Deore would do fine.

Deore middle should do the trick nicely. it's a teensy bit heavier than RF, because it's made of steel and not alloy but it will last much longer.
