Quick Questions
hugh.:
I don't see why not. As long as the crank bolt is tight.
Mychaylo:
^ correct, as it isnt bolted to the arm you have the best of both worlds. Perfect chainline and arm clearance.

yup, I've seen someone do it
Thomas031:
As long as you evenly space the gap that will form between the sprocket and the crank bolt hole, you will be fine. If you don't, you'll bend your sprocket by tightening your sprocket bolt.
I do want to say, those kind of questions are why i don't understand splined vs floating axle (powerbite) style systems.
With spline, everything has to be right to make and keep shit working.
Everything comes down to millimetres. There even are half millimetre spacers in case your shit doesn't align after 2 hours, cause you need to assemble and disassemble before you even know how many spacers you'll need later.
With powerbite style axles, you can have the arm halfway on there and it might not even do real damage.
I ride Kink splined cranks now, and even though i love them, i still think splines are silly. <3 floating axles

He's running splined so there isn't a sprocket bolt needed
