I find it cool that the sprocket is part of the wheel... this allows for a rigid "mount" that cannot be beat.

It's definitely rigid at the expense of a huge amount of machining time and material waste. The sprocket also doesnt have the typical chamfer which could lead to interesting performance as well.

Yeah, I'd be interested in how the sprocket without the chamfer would work out. I predict finikeyness if not executed properly...
