Wow! A flame from a 7 year old reply I made... That reply was directed at the OP and their seemingly to want the writing on the chain ring to face to the outside. I was trying to say that why should the side of the bike that the stamped writing is on be an issue. It is that the ring is installed properly that IMO has first priority.
Now to your thinking that as a commuter bike it's looks shouldn't matter- you make a false assumption of me. Here's a shot of my current commuter, clean and not the usual color combo. As a lifer in the LBS service department I very much care that others do take pride in their bikes. Andy

It's why I despise zombie threads. Though the noob has good intentions, it frequently dredges up old and out of date arguments. And those not realizing it's a zombie thread begin to make comments many times to members long gone from the site.
And many times, if the person reviving the necro thread has a question, then many subsequent respondents miss that question and instead reply to the OP's question which often isn't quite the same thing even when the new person asking thinks it is the same thing.
It'd be much better for a new thread to be started and then if felt pertinent, this or any other thread be linked to. Though admittedly a noob can't link stuff right away.
