There's every chance I can get a new cog in there and be good as new, but I am going to have to put this on a bike I use for easy days. Trouble is, sometimes easy days (like today was supposed to be!) have a way of turning into hammer-time rides

"Popping cogs", especially Regina cogs in the "oro" years was not uncommon way back, usually a 16 or 17t, really depended on the body style. there is not much material at the root of the cog.
