22 inches

--- Quote from: @ss4oLe;3615401 ---^ 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

Here are some details and some words about my first impressions [Please excuse my poor english :D ]. Please note, because of the rainy weather I haven't been rinding the Amero so far (except from a one minute session in my living room).
1. front tire clearance: With a 22 x 2.15 tire there is approximately 15 mm (0.6 inch) space between fork and tire.
2. back tire clearance with a 22 x 2.2 tire (almost slammed) is approximately 10 mm ( 0.4 inch).
3. The space between the sprocket and chainstays is very low. Concerning the wide and short rear end, a 26 T sprocket is the maximum that will fit. If you install a 9 T driver (back wheel comes with a 10 T driver), 2,88 will be the maximum gear ratio you can get.
4. As the other 22" frame-fork sets like S&M (Holmes), Indust or Standard the Amero are also made of 4130 tubes. HT, BB and CS are heat-treated. The welds seems to be very strong and professional made. Without having any experience with other 22" frames or forks like S&M for instance, I think the quality of all these 22" frame-fork-sets are pretty much the same.
5. So far faction bike co is the only company offering welded rims. They are 37 mm wide (1.46 inch) and seems to be very strong and durable. I can't say anything about the hubs beside that both are female hubs and the back wheel comes with a 10 T driver.
Beside of the poor or mid quality tires (hope to get the F22 foldable tires right after Xmas) the Amero frame-fork-wheel set is a high quality bike kit and is worth its price. Although I haven't been riding it, I'm absolutely stoked.
When the weather will clear up, I will find out how it rides. Afterwards I try to write a short review (hope you will understand me :D).

@ss4oLe:
10/26 is the highest you can go with the stock wheel?
that's a low gearing.
