Cullen, have you ridden an S&M 22" yet? Why is it that I like that one a lot, but can't get down with how your or Vern's bikes feel? I pedaled the show bike from Vegas around and it felt exactly how I would have wanted. Pulled up nice and held manuals, bunny hopped nice, and felt like it had the proper responsive front end.

This was all just in a ride up and down the isle of the show, so its not like I am sending it on any jumps. But after pedaling it around at the show.....I want to send it off some jumps...haha.

No, but I'm sure it's rad, too. (The Holmes is very similar to the 2Ton on the bb height and back end, but the InDust is just longer in the front end (21.75"tt), esp when considering the laid back seat tube angle on the Holmes). And, I just saw this on bmxmuseum: "S&M posted on their twitter that they are welding up 22's with 22" top tubes."

As long as people are getting stoked on a new option, it's all good.

Hopefully this will continue and there will be more tire options.

Does revenge make a none 22 knobby tire for the Holmes?

I really want one but, just a little worried with the lack of tire and rim options.

S&M lists 22 inch long frames on their site now.
They also list the shorter one as 21.5 but if the seatpost tube was at the standard 71 then I think it would measure 21.25. That would make the 22 inch closer to 21.75, I'd bet.

I am really liking my homes now that I have the gearing worked out and my wheels rebuilt with elite hubs. RaysMTB is only two days away!!!

New Faction F22 foldable tyre, 2.25, 100psi. They say ready to sell in November?

Ruben is bummed.

edit: Also, why does the SO height on all of these look so low?

@ss4oLe · « **Reply #266 on:** October 04, 2012, 04:15:35 PM »

The SO height is pretty low. I think mine measures at around 8.5-8.75

It doesn't ride like a scooter though. Actually feels amazing.

The Holmes has damn near the same measurments as a 20 inch frame but the brake mounts are in the correct spot for a 22 inch wheel. So it also looks like it has a low SO height. but it doesnt' feel like that when you ride it. if that makes any sense....

Got a preview ride in tonight before RaysMTB opens this weekend and spread some 22" love.

Everyone LOVED the holmes. S&M should send one out as a demo/rental. They would sell a ton of these bikes.
