• an eternity of poor shifting and Italian unreliability

    So far I've had years of good shifting. If it stays as it is, I'll be really happy.

    Are you sure the chairing is damaged and it's not just shifting teeth?

    Yes, its the shifting teeth which have been damaged. I'll try pliers and to file them, but I was just wondering if it's worth it?

    And it'll be really hard to bin the cranks. The pedals aren't great. Not sure if they're worth saving either.

  • but I was just wondering if it's worth it?

    Probably not, especially if you're replacing it with new parts. Generally a full chainset will cost less than just the chainrings by themselves.

    And it'll be really hard to bin the cranks.

    As may be but I'd say it's a case of when not if they fail catastrophically.

    They look like those cheapo shimano spds that are about £15 from CRC so I'd have a quick shot at getting the insert off the axle but wouldn't spend too long on it.
