given the size difference the front will wear 4 x as quickly under normal use, and the fact you've had an old chain on it would have increased the wear rate somewhat, I know you say "last year", but what's that in mileage, 20k/30k ?

for the cost of a couple of sprocket (and you can pretty much get any size you want) I wouldn't be messing about myself.

Cheers Mark.
