snapped a tooth off my outer ring - second time I've bent one but this time it wouldnt straighten up. Can't believe the price of a replacement!!! any suggestions for cheap buys or something that is as good for less?

I couldn't bring myself to fork out for an XT outer the other week so just opted for SLX instead.

Is it m770 chainset? I've got an unused outer somewhere.

Wasn't spending XT money on a replacement so opted for a SLX/Deore here too

again a vote for SLX or deore replacement rings, get it from rose bikes, cheapest place I could find a couple of months back.

File down the rough bits and carry on? I've not died yet 🙂

TBH one tooth shoudln't make that much difference, though a m8 managed to snap two opposite teeth and the chain would no longer stay on, righting-off a newish chainring

Filed it but it's skipping a bit - if it's a m770 ring I'll take you up on that
