Drive train components wear out to be similar to the most worn component in the drive train. So if you have a worn sprocket your new chain won’t mesh well with it until the chain has worn to a similar level of wear.
Chains wear out fastest, so it’s a good idea to catch chain wear early and replace before the chain is too worn out or the other components will also get worn out.
