Oh yeah buddy I got mine too! I lost 15.2 ounces of rotational weight!

Wow, I just noticed this! You were running the S&M tires before, right? How did you determine it was 15.2 ounces? That seems like a lot!

@ss4oLe · « **Reply #406 on:** February 14, 2013, 09:31:54 PM »

The S&M tires are 29 ounces. The Faction tires are around 19 ounces. math plus math equals numbers.

Ya basically.... I have a cheap fish scale that isn't that accurate plus or minus 2 ounce accuracy. I'll get it weighed tonight at rays they have a good scale.

Damn Scott that 22 looks incredible. You guys need smartphones so we get better pictures

22 does look good Scott.

For you guys with the Holmes kits / wheels with 9T drivers, what gear ratio are you running?

Haha, I know how to do math... I've just never seen any of the weights posted for these things and was just wondering if he saw them somewhere or if he weighed them himself.

I can't believe the Faction tires weigh less than the folding Rubens!

I'm running 28/9 right now because I like a higher gearing than most people. I think I'm going to be switching it down to 27/9 or maybe 26/9 so that I can get my back end a little longer, though. I'm weird and like long backends. I've got my 20 around 14.5 and it still feels too short.

Wow, 28-9 (or even 26-9) is really har done one of those! From a quick math sesh, I figured your average 25-9 on a 20inch equivalent would be 23-9, so a 25-9 one a 22inch would be a hard ratio, like a 28-9 is on a 20.

For the longest time, I rode a 28/9 on my 24". It was hard as shit to pedal and I loved it. I am back on a 28/10 now though.

@ss4oLe · « **Reply #414 on:** February 15, 2013, 02:35:49 PM »

Friend of mine with a holmes currently has 27/10 and is talking about going to 26/10.

I'm running 25/9 on the 20 and 22 bikes.

Just got another ride in. You know I take back the comment about the faction tires being ruben clones. They are like a combo of the ruben sidewalls with the khe dirt tire tread. Like the best of both tires put together.

I have run on my holmes
25x9
28x10
30x12

30x12 felt the best to me but I wanted the mulville camo parts and the biggest chainwheel is 28t... and profile doesn't make a 11t elite driver so I went with a 10t driver. It used to feel really tall but the faction tires roll so smooth and are light enough to accelerate much faster it actually feels like 55 gear inches when it really is 60 or so gear inches.

Oh my bike came in at 24 pounds 13 ounces. Thanks for the compliments. I'll get proper pics too. Next friday is the fit/s&m dealer night... really looking forward to what those guys will think of my holmes. I was just told that april the revenge mainline tires and welded rims should be available.

Would definitely be interested to try 22, but is gonna be rare to see them. Hopefully someone will be at the park on one

Has anyone tried running a Sunday 24" with some 22" wheels?
