I'm almost always in the 15 or 17 tooth cogs and middle chainring. I was just reading how the smaller cogs can wear out a chain quicker than larger ones. I'm gonna switch it up to 23 and 26 & the large chainring for a while. I do have concerns about crosschaining and extra noise but so be it.

The thread titled "Anyone Tracking Gear Usage" got me thinking about this.
DP, I don’t give a shift about cog wear. Cassettes are cheap. Ride in your favorite gear, and don’t worry about it.
