I'm assuming that your original chainset use non-replaceable rings, hence the complete new chainset, rather than just a replacement inner ring. A replacement is likely to have replaceable rings: Shimano do the FC-M341-L (from their website) but they seem to only turn up only on complete new bikes in the UK. Alternatives are available, e.g. www.dotbike.com/ProductsP3780.aspx. As others have said, don't bend anything, just take it back to the shop and get them to fix it properly - you may well need to discuss chainset options / cost if you want black (and I don't blame you - style can be important, at times). And take it for a test ride before you leave! Good luck. You must Sign in before you can post messages.
