Why can't you change the countershaft sprocket to compensate for the rim change?

That's a good question. I might be wrong, but I believe the RX3 is equipped from the factory with a 13T, counter shaft sprocket. If so, this is the smallest C/S sprocket available. If you wish to change the sprocket ratio for a larger rear wheel, you have two options. You can either install a smaller C/S sprocket, or a larger rear sprocket. If a smaller C/S sprocket isn't available, your only option is to install a larger rear sprocket.

I agree on both points.

If larger rear sprockets are not available for the cush hub, we will have two, acceptable choices. Stick with the cush hub, and a 15-inch rear wheel, or switch to a larger rear wheel sans cush hub.

Here is a nice review of the Minsk TRX 300i.
http://www.abw.by/news/155795/ This photograph gives a closer view of the 17-inch rear wheel, and the nice aggressive tire.

Tentatively, the bikes are supposed to arrive early next year, perhaps in January. The arrival date is primarily dependent upon final EPA approval of the bikes.

So we have lots of time to do virtual builds.

Maybe CSC will remove a rear wheel and take some measurements.

Here are some nice photos from the Minsk TRX 300i review.
If you are going to ride in any mud, you definitely want a front tire with an aggressive tread.

I hope they do; that would be very nice.

I was wondering the same thing. I wonder how much excitement will be generated by then.
I'm excited vicariously. I know that if this bike hits Canada, it'll be ridiculously priced.

Once we get our hands on one of the CS sprockets, we'll likely be able to source a 12 tooth. It's not wise to go any less than 12, because the chain must follow a radius that's very small.
