    Do I need to replace my chainset? the chain doesn’t slip on it but it does on the cassette and I wondered if it could be the chainset teeth being worn.
    It is a 105 5600 53/29
    It is a new chain
    Thanks

    it is a new chain I and I do try to keep it clean and freshly lubed 🙂
    I will try a new cassette as that is where the chain jumps

    I will be upgrading to 11 speed soon so it doesn’t really matter in the mean time
    I am going to keep my 105 chainset though so if it isn’t worn then I will just leave it
    I read that using 10 speed chainrings work fine with 11 speed chain so that should be ok

    Do you clean/degrease and reapply a lube to your drive chain regularly? That’s not a euphemism 😉

    No. What you can see if just
    No. What you can see if just the anodising wearing off, and the shorter tooth is like that to help with shifting – it’s not worn down. The chain should do at least 2000km and the cassette 2 or 3 times that, but those mileages will be much less if you ride in the wet, salty winter roads, etc. Maybe try a new cassette and chain at the same time (which solved my jumping chain recently).

    Nah you probably don’t need
    Nah you probably don’t need to replace the chainset….my chainrings are worse I’d say and are still working fine.
    Keeping that chain a bit cleaner wouldn’t do any harm tho 8}

    I assume you mean 53/39?

    Unlikely I would have thought, if it’s a new chain ans it still slips the first thing to consider is the cassette, unless that is new too.
