Aloha,

Thanks for all the comments. I am still a CAD rookie..

We have many sprocket sizes ordered. My understanding is that the larger the sprocket is, the less working load for a given amount of transmitted power, allowing the use of a smaller pitch chain. We are planning to use #25 chain this year since it is readily available locally at the bike shops. I voted for the three speed transmission personally, but was overruled.
There is still time for a change though...I hope...

This is our first attempt at a non KOP drive train.
Any input on gear ratios, wheels, etc., is highly appreciated..

Mahalo!
