I’ve also got a Giant Talon (purchased for the same reasons) and I’ve also experienced chainring wear. I put a new chain on after 500 miles and it won’t stop skipping. I checked the chainrings and they look much worse than the picture in the first post, so I ordered new chainrings today. Cross-chaining wasn’t my issue because I was always careful to avoid it. I believe the problem is just budget components.
