cog-chain marriage. will it fit?
I am going to be getting a new front chainring that accepts 1/8" chains. Currently I have a front chainring and rear cog that accept a 3/32" chain.
My question: will I have to get a new rear cog or will it accept the 1/8" chain? It is a Surly cog, 17tooth, neither of which really matters, but folks like specifics around here.
thanks,
ryan

The mixing generally isn't too bad - my beater has a 1/8 chain on a 3/32 front ring and the noise is negligible, especially if I keep the chain well lubed.

i ride with a 1/8 cog, 3/32 chainring (soon to be 1/8) and a moped chain. recently its been quite noisy, but yesterday i cleaned and re-oiled everything. yay, less noise.
…but can't some noise be traced back to the chainline?
