Re: pic: 675 Teaser 4

The design baffles me a bit, it appears to be like 1/2" thick, which seems way overkill. Seems like the chain would fail far before the webbing of the sprocket would.

Also, Torque = Force x Distance, so the inversely tapering spokes are incredibly inefficient.

Curious to what decisions lead to this design.
