Did you replace the chain at the same time as the cog? Posted by Bill Homer [Email]  (#3427) [Profile/Gallery]

If not, you may have chain stretch, which is wearing out the cog prematurely. You can measure a chain for wear by doing the following:
"Place a 12 inch ruler along the bottom chain run, align the 0 mark with the center of a chain rivet. Note where the 12 inch mark aligns on a rivet. If the center or the rivet is at 12 inches the chain is new or nearly new. Off by less than 1/16" and the chain is showing some wear but is still serviceable. If it misses the 12 inch mark by more than 1/16" the chain requires replacement and the rear cogs should be closely inspected. Worn cogs on a new chain will typically cause the chain to jump or skip in the worn out cogs."
Alternatively, perhaps your chain wasn't oiled properly? See the link for more than you want to know about this!
