22 inches

Ahh man, I need one of these. Someone do a table on one and get a photo please.

I sent an e-amil to Faction regarding estimated delivery date. This is what they answered: "I think tyres will be ready before end of February. We were trying to co-ordinate for half the delivery to go the USA warehouse and half to come here (one consignment at the factory and one courier ) but it didn't work out so we've had to arrange for it to be collected by different shippers on different weeks.The factory has to manage our small order between their huge roadbike orders, unfortunately we have to keep to their timetable not ours because the F22 is a 'rebel' project for two of the factory technicians. We're lucky to have their cutting edge tech but it does mean we sometimes have to put up with delays".

I think we´ve to be patient and keep in mind that Faction is a small player in the game. I personally really appreciate that they push the market for a 22" option.

Just got an email from Kevin essentially stating the same thing.  He offered to give me my money back.  I am going to wait this out though I hope everything works out by March.

Heading to Chicago and Milluakee tomorrow for a weekend of riding so odds are good I'll have some 22" footage.

I'd just like to point out that this pretty much validates what I said near the beginning of this thread that I got so much shit for...

Only taken with a camera not a potato please

Potato = screen shot from video...

G- I have no doubt that Odyssey could have 22 inch tires, well made and on the USA shores in a timely manner.

The Faction guys are amateurs...

I am honestly sure that we couldn't. It sounds like Faction have a factory that makes high end road tyres with some guys there who are behind the project, that is more important than anything else. I am 100% certain that our reception with our factory would be very different, we have had to push them super hard in the past to do incredibly basic stuff.

Re confederate:
I agree with G. I think the main point to realize such an uncertain economic project is to know people who are enthusiastic enough and share the same idea of progression.

Re amateurs:
I wouldn’t call the Faction guys amateurs, because it has a slightly negative connotation. In fact they are enthusiasts with a vision to develop BMX further. Beyond that Faction is a small and relative young company but they act like a usual profit-oriented company. So why should they be amateurs? The stuff they produced so far compare well with other stuff from established companies.

Hopefully one of my buddies has better/more footage but this is all that survived the gopro... me riding the 22 holmes through the right line at RaysMKE transferland.

The 22" welded revenge rims are available to pre-order.  Hit up your LBS!

[@ss4oLe]

I haven't been able to spend enough time on my bike to warrant needing new rims.

[meowy.wowy]

where do you get 22" tubes?

[@ss4oLe]

Same place you get tires.

Pretty sure you can fit 20 inch tubes in though. Think of the weight savings!

[Bunky]

Ok, so I've got some of the S&M/Revenge tires...  What other tire options are out there right now?  Posts with links to where you can purchase them get extra points!
