    The teeth of the cog are too thick for the chain to sit on. Chain is BMX.

    Whats the technical term for the right chain? Needs a cog with thinner-teeth.

    Chains are 3/32 or 1/8 (i.e. 4/32). 1/8 is "bmx", 3/32 is "MTB" or "Road".

    If the chain won't go on the cog, you probably have a 3/32 chain…
