Shouldn't be too difficult.

The socket idea is awesome except there probably wont be a lot of LHD love for a while.

in theory its a better system among the mechanically "aware" bikeguide community, but in reality kids will just buy whatever shiny new part their mates say is cool, and bash that sprocket on with a hammer

Yes, shouldn't be a problem as long as the sprocket you have in mind has enough material around it.

Sadly you are probably right, but in the case of a Taiwan 22mm on a Profile crank it would probably never come off again...

it wont matter though cos theyll have to replace their cranks before they replace the sprocket, because the $20 plastic pedals that are rusted into their cranks will wear out first
