I tried looking at the cog but I can't tell much. I'm not very mechanical. I'll look at the chainring too. It wasn't knocked out of adjustment because I watched him install it. I checked the master link. It looks ok. It may be the derailleur but I have friction shifters so I wouldn't think it was that. I'm not going to make any adjustments. I'll take it back to the LBS to check. It's not very often - just twice in 14 miles yesterday.
And it is in the smallest cog on the cassette in the largest chain ring. That's where I do most of my riding - probably 70% of the time.
