Looks nice. I just have to ask, was the engraving spec'd in the design, or did they just add it on a whim? I've seen instances where manufacturers have "contributed" to a design in a similar fashion, ultimately causing failure of the part. I was just curious. Anyhow, nice sprocket.

Now that's a case study I'd like to read. All sorts of fun liability questions arise there....

It was on the whim, and these sprocket hasn't broken at all, there's no sign of significant wear at all either. "Castle CNC Precision Machining" is engraved on some of the other parts of the sprocket as well.
