Jul 15, 2022 at 21:56 comment added jayded-bee Thanks for the input, and welcome to the site! I would have guessed that the wear on the rings depended on the bike's chainline, and the rider's caution to keep it straight. On my bike, the bottom bearing axle seems to almost reach too far out, while the 5-speed freewheel, narrow as it is (compared to more modern 8+ speed cassettes, anyway), moves the chainline very far inboard. Because of this (bad chainline), the big chainring is unusable unless the smallest two freewheel cogs are selected.
