Front sprocket wearing strangely...
Im in Tanzania at the moment and about 1000km ago i checked my front sprocket. Firstly its wearing quite badly in the usual sense, that is the teeth on one side are wearing. Though this is understandable what concerns me is the wear Ive noticed on the engine side of the sprocket.. Its as though the chain is wearing away at the thickness of the sprocket on that side. The rear sprocket and chain seem fine.
I have a new set, but also a long way to go so Ive flipped my front, with washers under lock plate to make up for raised lip.
Any ideas or comments?

PS so far done about 9000km on this set.
