    tri-z front sprocket question

    what is the smallest front sprocket you can install on a tri-z? will a 12 tooth cause any chain to swingarm interference? what size do you tri-z guys prefer for woods and trail riding and hill climbing? i have not ever rode the bike yet, and i have to buy a kit. i have a new 12 tooth for banshee,but will it bind up the chain on the swingarm?
    Here is where my long useless list of stuff nobody cares about should go...

    No, a 12 fits OK. TimSr has ran 11's before but it makes the chain drag on the guide alot more and makes it wear out faster. I'm a little bit tall on mine right now at 14/38 but I'm probably gonna go to something like 12/40 soon.

    did you click the pic twice? it almost takes up the whole screen lol thanks for the complement. i love the yellow triz i am slowly awaiting the rebuild of the red and white 86. i remember you asking me about the rear tires. i must have had a mental note that they looked good on a tri-z from you bike i like the tires very much havent done much riding on them but they do look good on the Z later
