When looking at the CAD, it doesn't look possible to run 2 #35 12 tooth sprockets with the WCD addition because of the width and the chain will not fit. Are we missing something or is the only way to use #35 chain with the 3 CIM Ball Shifter WCD 3rd Stage Kit to have only 1 #35 sprocket in the WCD addition to the gearbox and place the gearbox at the end of the drive?
We tried using #35 chain on ours and quickly realized that it doesn't work without doing some modifications that really put the structural integrity of the gearbox at risk. You will need #25 chain.
