Can you please explain how it is retained or what I am missing?
Thanks and I love the subtle features of the products.

PS. Do the Gears have the sizes laser engraved on each part, similar to the Sprockets?

Hi Clinton,
1. The 1/2" Hex Output shaft is a press-fit into the larger part of the ball shaft (217-2790-003). It isn't "easily exchanged" for any other length of Hex, but this might be possible for more advanced users (I haven't personally tried it, so I don't want to be misrepresent how easy it is).
2. No, the gears do not have the sizes etched into them.
