With both chainrings replaced it should have been sorted... not so easy. Now I had a new problem... The chainsuck on these new rings is worse than with the worn originals...! I couldn't really find factory replacement so the only real chainrings on the market were Stronglight or Spécialités TA. I suspect this is happening due to a mismatch in phasing of the teeth when shifting or possibly caused by spacing the big ring out further...
It happens whenever shifting down from the big to small ring, even with a tiny bit of load it jams up. The original rings never did this until they had a lot of mileage on them, and even then only when the chain was filthy... disappointed!
