Chipped tooth

Or broken actually,
On a rear with 3.73's there is a broken tooth on the ring, obviously has to be changed eventually, richmonds replacement is 258.99, not familiar with them, is this a good price and how long would curent ring last as is?

Sound high to me, check JEGs or Summit for a good price. I wouldnt wait too long to replace it, if the gear brakes as your driving it could lock up the rear and you could slide off on to a ditch or wreck your ride!

my rear got some chipped teeth, and it lasted probably a week before I couldn't drive it anymore. Get that replaced right away.
