Just wondering if the bike was bought last year during the period of Covid?I have just under 2000 miles on my bike and I’m not sure if my chain ring is in need of changing, I have looked at pictures of brand new ones and I can’t see any difference really, I clean my transmission every time I come back from a ride and I clean and lube the chain meticulously too, I don’t know how I’ve done it but my cassette is still the original from new but I’m going to change it as it’s showing slight signs of wear, anyway I have taken a picture of my chain ring to see what you all think, oh another thing, I’m having trouble locating a Sram chain ring for my Whyte e-150rs, anyone know something I don’t please

I had a chainring problem last year. I took the number stamped on the chainring and wrote to the part manufacturer. Turns out they don't make a chainring for SH12! I wrote to the bike seller and they wrote to the manufacturer. Bike manufacturer replied with an apology explaining about supply issues during the lockdown. They mailed me the correct part and paid for LBS to do the work.
I don't blame the bike manufacturer who has to keep working and they owned up when presented with firm evidence. No names, no pack drill.
