I'm building my first bike using a phantom tank frame and want to fit a 2 stroke motor kit . I'm in the Uk and don't really want to ship an engine from the states as there are some on eBay from uk sellers.but they seem to state that you have to have a minimum 26" rear wheel .im sure I've seen plenty of builds with 24" wheels so is there a certain kit I need and what's the best rear sprocket size to get .

Re: Using a china girl kit with a 24" felt cruiser wheel?
With a smaller rim you will want a different gear than the stock 44 tooth that comes with the kit. Using this ratio on a 24'' rim would limit your speed quite a bit and tend to over rev the engine.
Using a 36 tooth would bring things back into better range and depending on the terrain (hills) I might even go to a 34 tooth rear.
Or a 32 tooth with a good running tuned pipe engine.
