You can get a lot more out of these, it has been common practice to flip the standard single speed cogs over once theyre worn out so you can use the other side of the teeth as well. You end up with some shuriken looking thing

I have a fixed gear bike so these only work one way.

That's why i didn't use the term fixed gear, i meant the 3 spline cogs

I wouldn't push it with worn cogs. They aren't expensive, and rolling with a worn one will wear out your chain which will start wearing out your chain rings which are aluminum and more delicate.

Not all chainrings are aluminium, with steel front and back you can take it pretty far.

My chainring and cog are both steel; I will say that the new cog provides a noticeable improvement. Definitely less..."grindy" when I'm riding.

If the cog is worn this far then the chain and chainring are probably a bit worn as well, if you just put a new cog on it then the cog will wear out faster. It is best to keep all the components on about the same level of wear.
