I would take 4 Odyssey/G-Sport rims myself.

Wow thanks for all the info! How many pawls does the driver have? Do you know if it is an Odyssey joytech clone?

I had a short look inside the Faction Bike Co. rear hub (sorry no pictures so far). It's a Q-Lite system similar to the WTP supreme hub. Unlike a normal cassette hub, the whole internals are reversed, so the pawls ( 4 double pawls?) are inside the hub shell. Actually I dontīt know the producer and I can't find any aftermarket driver so far. I sent an email to Faction Bike Co. and wait for an answer.

Holy $hit! I would be willing to bet the WTP 9t driver would work. It is seriously hard for me to imagine Faction would design and fab a one off hub/driver. Thanks again for all of the info.

From the looks of things these are the same hubs that are on all of the 2013 2Hip complete bikes.

--- Quote from: ssteinbr;3615782 ---Ya I am hoping Alienation comes through with rims... Do you think we (as in the 22 guys on here) could team up and see if gsport or jim c would make a 22 rim? How many guys do we have... at least 5 or 6. I would take four 22" rollcage rims just for myself... minimum order could be 25? If the total minimum order is more I could pony up.

I wouldn't count on that happening. The internets cried out for 48 hole Ratchet hubs, they were made and then nobody bought them. And that part was way less obscure than 22" rims.
--- Quote from: @ss4oLe;3615784 ---I'd be shocked if minimum order is 25. Probably closer to hundred/s but that's just a guess.
If you round up all the people, on all the forums that are into 22's, we still wouldn't have enough people/cash, I don't think.

Agreed. A minimum order for rims would be well over 100. Not trying to discredit the 22" stuff. It just is what it is.
I would ride one of those Velocity Deep V rims before I touched an Alienation. Every Alienation rim I ever rode had some sort of problems.....Chrome flaking off the rim, the bead would pop off on my 24", they would bend and flex horribly. At least the Velocity is a strong rim, although it might not look the prettiest.
What is wrong with the Revenge wheel set that S&M makes anyway? It didn't look bad.
