Jul 10, 2015 at 20:32 comment added ojs It's harder to say with cassette because the teeth are slightly irregular as new. Like @MPoirier and Daniel said, it's easier to see from the "valleys". I get shark fin effect in some but not all cassette teeth, in fixed gear cog it's easier to see.
Jul 10, 2015 at 19:21 comment added Daniel R Hicks A new sprocket has teeth separated by "valleys" that are exactly circular. As the sprocket wears, the "valleys" become more oval.
Jul 10, 2015 at 16:07 comment added MPoirier I find that while my front chain ring will tend to sharkfin with wear, my rear cassette does not. Instead I just end up with increasingly wide valleys between the teeth as they wear.
Jul 10, 2015 at 15:22 comment added Jules "the teeth get narrower and eventually develop an asymmetric "shark fin" shape" that's what I was looking for, and what I meant by "wear." I didn't notice any such deformation.
