    Do we have incidences of the single bolt and woodruff key issue? The key and keyway is a very tight tolerance machined parts.
    The 4-bolt arrangement has the sprocket cantilever on the crank face and inherently seems less stable than having the sprocket carried by the crank long snout. It's an interesting engineering problem.
