22 inches
@ss4oLe:
that Faction looks really nice.
brenden- Danscomp has/had the S&M Holmes kit (frame/fork/wheels/tires). You can get frames by InDust through CMC4130 on here, Faction might be available in the States in a month (they've been saying 'soon' for the last 3 years), you can have Standard make a custom frame/fork for the cost of your first born.
A bunch of options but wheels/tires are still pretty limited. However, as you can see from this post, if you wanna roll on 22's, you can make it happen.

Hmmm... I don't have chronic back problems but I drink a lot (hard to stay hydrated) and I ride rhythm style jumps where there is a lot of pumping and g-outs so my core gets worked.
I have noticed that I can ride 3 to 5 times a week an hour to two hours on my holmes 22... whereas my 20" steadfast I could do the same for about 6 weeks and then I had to go for massotherapy on my lower back or I was out for a couple weeks.
I think the difference is the fact I have a very upright stance on the holmes... It has a long cs (end of the drop out) therefore I can run a profile push and hoder (really big) bars. My stance is way more upright and the bike still feels balanced not too easy to pull up.
Now as far as riding a rigid bike that is jarring when you case hard the 22 wheel does pop out of hang ups and cases better but it is not hat much better than a 20". In reference a 24" or 26" wheels is worlds away from how jarring 20 ans 22 wheels are. The 22 is better but not by a lot.

I heard today that Redline has a 22 wheel bike that has been showing up at a local track in Dayton Ohio. I did some poking around on the interwebz and came up with this photo. Does anyone have any information?
@ss4oLe:
^ it's a different sized 22 inch wheel. I don't have the details but I know the racing world won't allow the 22 inch wheels that we've been riding (holmes, indust, faction) but do allow this new wheel from redline. the size difference isn't much, mm's difference.
There is also an O/S tire (over sized) that is still in the safe range of being legal on the track. Tioga makes it.
That's all I know.
talk about a cluster fuck. :D
