Seen a few pics of these on the net,does anyone make them yet?What about the wheels,custom builds?Anyone have one?
-
I have one , a Faction Zeitguist. I have had it a few years and it is Awesome. Keith Easom is the man to speak to. He is doing some top quality 22's now with new wheels and tyres as good as any 20''.
-
is there any need for them though ??
-
I heard S&M are making one?
-
I like mine but I still have a 20''. If you are 6 foot and over 40 they feel nicer to ride almost like a 20'' did when you were 5.8 and 16. I can do all my old tricks on a 22''.
-
they are nice to ride.
spens got one and although a bit heavy is proper comfy.

Pulled first go on a 22''
-
I rode a very strange 22" made by Reebok a couple of years ago, being 5'5" it felt rather comfy in size, but it was a lump of lead on cheap wheels that jfelt like they would crumble under my mere 1stone weight
-
Trying to re-invent the BMX wheel ??? Why?
-
Fckin 22"... ??? :crazy2:
-
I want a 19" rear wheel, might stop me hooking up all the time. :crazy2:
-
Yep, had mine a couple of years. It's a Faction and is a bit chunky because the components are a bit low end but the wheels are really light and strong. Everyone who's risen it at MK, the Boardroom and Terminal One has really liked it and it turns nicely on a quarter-pipe but turning it on a jump-box or bowl is a struggle due to it having a long TT and longer than normal back-end to fit the wheel in of course.
Keith from Faction has been reportedly making a lighter f&f called the Almero or something but not seen it yet. He was also developing some foldable skinwall tyres with a ramp tread last time I spoke with him, but it's been a while now.
-
I wish they'd make a 558.8mm wheeled bike ???

;D ;D ;D I first seen one on a flat video the other day couldnt work out if the rider was really small(it was in japan ;)) or the bike had bigger wheels ::)
-

If you look in the midschool section, under the SBC thread, you will see a picture of a 22" Standard that was made last year.

Faction Bike Co. 22" wheel bikes.
Our 22" bike should be on TV on the Extreme Channel on Sky TV any time this week (5th Sep onwards). It should get aired in 120 countries + several times a day with repeats according to the shows producers.
Here's a cut and paste below from their info page.
The show is called Silent Revolution. They are focusing on the BMX racing scene in the UK.
For more info go to their Face Book page.
Cheers :)
Ep13.
We return to the indoor track at Manchester and catch up with Kelvin Batey and Route 55 as they get in some extra training before the last two rounds of the British National Championship. They are currently leading the team competition and are looking good to make the team title theirs. We also take a brief glimpse at the Olympic Development Team as they train ahead of the Olympics.
We also meet Keith Easom and talk to him about his brand new 22 inch wheel BMX in development, and we ask Kelvin Batey his thoughts on this highly controversial subject.

That's the one, much lighter and better geometry than the Zeitgeist!!
-
:daumenhoch: How much are they?
-
I think the complete full kits are going @ £600, but mine is the earlier model that I got 2nd hand. I've just had Dan sort the paint and put it together with some high end new school parts and now it's a nice light bike!!! :daumenhoch:
