>>1356176Yeah I could do, they're not expensive, but then I've got to take it all apart and clean it all off again and reinstall the whole fucking thing. Just a bit of an effort, and I'm not sure if doing so would actually eliminate the wobble in the chainrings (at the moment the bottom bracket is very tight, I don't feel any play in the crank arms at all, and yet the chainrings still wobble, so I think maybe the chainrings are just bent? Especially since I rode with a loose wobbly bottom bracket for so long, maybe doing that caused the chainrings to warp due to the forces being put through them).
Eh I don't fucking know. The bike is basically rideable now though. The next thing I should possibly tackle is replacing the cassette because there are two sprockets where the chain just skips over them. They're roughly in the middle of the cassette, adjacent to each other. And new cassettes aren't that expensive - pic related is a Claris model according to Shimano's website and it's not too expensive (£14.49 is $18.25 USD, €16.27 EUR, $24.47 CAD, $26.54 AUD):

It's like a fucking mile long. In fact Shimano's website says they do this cassette in 11-34 too so I might be able to track that down.
