Fairly recently acquired a used Creig 26 and it occasionally drops the chain off the front chainring when upshifting. Looking at it, the chain seems to bounce, particularly when shifting 3rd to 4th.

I’m green when it comes to bike technicianing beyond adjusting saddles, brakes and rear derailleurs and would appreciate pointers towards what might be an interim fix to keep my son riding please.

To me the front chainring looks worn, one tooth having taken quite a hit in particular. They’re Lasco 152mm cranks with what looks like a pressed on 28t chainring. Tried Islabike, they don’t have any spares. Any ideas on replacement options please for a new chainring to press on? Or is it bite the bullet and replace cranks too, pointers appreciated.

Ta!

Ultimately I guess its gears, chain and chainring replacement to completely refresh everything ready for a few more years of life.
