Hi, I dont post alot,  I  use the facts section for most problems,  but i do have a question
I just picked up a new chain and sprockets, now when i removed the old sprockets, the front was worn with the teeth  bent  in the same direction as the sprocket spins, i am wondering if this is normal,  I figured they would be worn in the opposite direction
Is there some thing I should be looking for??
pics for reference

Looks normal to me, the teeth aren't bent they are worn like that.  The wear is on the left (front) side of the upper teeth where it would be from driving forces.
407,400 miles in 30 years for 13,580 miles/year average.  Started riding 7/21/84 and hung up helmet 8/31/14.
