How does a Rohloff cog wear gauge work? Could I duplicate it? It looks very similar to a chain
whip, even simpler, it just appears to be a single short length of new chain with one end
attached to a bar.
I googled r.b.t. for the subject, and didn't find any ideas on alternative ways to check a
sprocket for wear.
If a worn sprocket is used with a new chain, will the chain wear faster? I ask because Jobst said
this in an old thread:

but he didn't say if doing that will wear the chain excessively.
