I used 25 and 26 tooth sprockets on mine I love the clearance (about 4 inches tall), but remember, they can be as big as the brake disc on the axle side, so don't spend more to get less as far as that goes. the other side is, the bigger the sprockets, the longer the chain lasts, because theres more engagement to individual links as well as less pivoting on its way around. that difference is probably infinitely unnoticeable though if you use a high quality chain. I would reccomend size 40 or bigger... I use 40 it is more than enough.

Where did you get you 25 tooth from. See all i could find was a 30 somin or bigger, or the little 14. I do still like the idea of the 14 so maby i will try it just as an experiment to see how it works. The other reason it might work is cause im running dual chains. Now how would you setup a chain tensioner for the double axles. I was thinkin i could fab a piece to run an idle pully in. Then i could attach it to the farme right above the chain. I and i could move it up and down using a bolt. It would also help with and any slipping problems because it is pushing the chain down wich would make it have more surface area on the sprocket. Now did i confuse you all or do you sorta understand. I would draw a picture in paint but i stink at that. One more thing. Is there anywhere to get sprockets that already has the keyed hole in it, like that it would eliminate the need for a hub.

Just because you move up in a class doesn't mean that you'll "loose" the "race", it just means that you're building a better, more capable machine.

another place to get sprockets like that is ruralking.com I work there and we have sprockets running fron 12t-60t in 2tooth increments (most of the way) (40 pitch chain) the hub for the sprocket is a separate part that would need to be welded on, but that's the setup I'm using and have used in the past. works good, as long as you get a large enough sprocket to get a good weld on.
