Will a 1/8th chain running on a 3/32 cog wear quicker than if it were running on a 1/8th one? I'm thinking yes, as a smaller contact patch on the rollers. But I'm not sure...
I don't think it'll make a difference as the roller/chain contact isn't what causes chain wear (well, stretch). It's the rollers wearing through the side plate that causes it, and that won't be affected by running a thinner cog.
