Rather than switch out for smaller wheels could we just buy larger sprockets to put on our current wheels? That would make the wheels turn slower but overdoing it might make them turn too slow.

My team was pretty set on building a custom frame but i don't think everyone was quite sure how much work that is actually going to take.
