How do I know when my Chainrings toast or getting worn down? Because my XT's might need replacing.

Thanks-

Look for a "shark fin" appearance where the front side of the teeth develop a concave profile that "hooks" the chain.

Don't confuse profiled teeth for otherwise bent, mangled, or missing teeth. Sometimes it helps to have a new or new-ish chainring on hand for comparison.
