Hopefully this mythical machinist can find a way to make each sprocket a single piece. I've had the side plates on my front pulley get bent twice, semi-inexplicably. The first time was when my belt broke. The second is when my saddlebag bracket whacked the belt near the rear pulley under full shock compression whilst giving a young lady of rather considerable size a ride. I was able to fix it both times but it is a bit disconcerting.
