I'm tired of hanging my sprocket at the park. (rocking a 43, old school)
will it work? Are the flys the lowest profile?
Pictures?

I hear it depends a lot on the frame. The fly's are supposed to be low-profile for that very reason (gearing) but a frame can change everything.
I know you can take some Hombre's and put the hop-up kit on them to make them a little bit more low-pro, too. I think the Oddy Evolvers are ment to be low, too.

You could always go slightly larger with a 28/10 and you should have no problem with clearance issues. a 25 is so small, no gaurantee it would work.
yeah...
Hey, what's everyone's experiences with those 11t freewheels? Is that worth doing? I'd need a flip/flop hub to go 11. I'm thinking I might as well go cassette. I could get a nice loud one and sound like a cool kid.

If you want loud I've heard the Shadows are obnoxious.
The fly's are the lowest profile, but as everyone else mentioned it depends on the frame. Likewise if you go that route you will want to run a dry chain because of all the slop you will get on your brakes...
The smallest freewheel will be a 13 tooth odyssey, only way to go 11 is a cassette.

I am running a 30/11 with my Fly Brakes. I dont think I would go any smaller, but thats on my frame. Also I have a feeling the Interlock would tear apart the brakes given the chance so I want some extra clearance.
