Cut out is usually to the outside.
Why so ?
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.

It makes it easier to bend the tabs of the lock washer up.
Also, some bikes use a sturdy locking plate which bolts to the two threaded holes in the sprocket.

It would only make one tab easier. I don't think the sprocket was first designed for the  :faz .
I will find out when I take off the old orange OEM one but did that also have the extra dampening on the other sideHere my old in place
