1 bent tooth=1 Bruised knee & 1 sore elbow

[Mojoman]

On the last few km's home yesterday I decided to get out of the saddle and race to the top of the hill. Big mistake. The chain slipped and I banged my knee up good and proper on the handle bars. I had a look at the crank and saw a tooth bent (not sure how and when it happened).

 

I managed to sort it out (or so I thought) and 10 minutes back had just set out on a ride when it happened again. This time I do not see any bent teeth.

 

I suppose its best to replace the middle blade (there are no issues on the smallest and largest blade). The crank is a SRAM X7 (3x10).

Any recommendations on a replacement? I posted a while back about how soft the SRAM crank blades seem to be compared to Shimano -

Nasty man! One of my worst nightmares...

Sounds like a worn out blade, just check the chain as well just in case both are near to being tickets
