Undulating Chainring

My Campagnolo 53t chainring is very very slightly wavy at one point, I mean literally 0.5mm.

Will this provide me with any problems? I've read elsewhere they're easy to micro-adjust back into shape with a big spanner, but I'd rather not mess about with it if 0.5mm is trifling.

Alot of rings aren't 100% true I wouldn't worry about it.

Unless you mean the profile isn't straight like a biopace/rotor?

if its steel you can stick it in a vice and cold set it back flat again, i think there's some info on that on sheldonbrown.com. anything else I's leave well alone

you must have eyes like a fucking hawk to see it is out of true by 0.5mm ;-)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
