Yes. Cog’s on backwards. The tapered part should face the spokes, which will give you a few more mm between the two currently rubbing elements.

Now, now… well, yeah, you’re right. I believe Surly cogs like that one come with pretty specific instructions for proper installation. Will we follow directions from now on, Brvn? Hmmm?
