I see where you are coming from and your right there is a need for larger cogs in some cases.. just for the sake of arguing why stop at 34?? why not a 40 tooth cog on the back?

Are you keeping the chain lubed? You can minimize further wear by keeping it well lubed. But with 1/16 "stretch" I'd replace the chain.

Yes. It is being replaced. It needs to last only until the snow is deep enough that I can't get through it :)

Can someone explain this cog business? :)
