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 ??

gary67 · « **Reply #3 on:** June 26, 2012, 06:01 PM »

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''.

spens got one and although a bit heavy is proper comfy.

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

I want a 19" rear wheel, might stop me hooking up all the time.

Spen69 · « **Reply #11 on:** June 26, 2012, 06:56 PM »

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

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.

Nope, mine is staying put Rob. As Dave says, my brother Simon (Hootski70 on here) has one still boxed so give him a buzz to see if he wants to sell it?
