dude...:
22 is so tempting
Love Machine:
God I want to get into 22 but. The tire options are so shit and don't want to spend almost 100$ on the Faction tires.
Jobsy:
I never liked the cable through the seat tube to be honest.. Bloody cable always fraying, not enough room to swing a cat let alone wire up a straddle cable behind some shitawful 44tooth sprocket. The long straddle took a load of grief away and I never noticed any extra flex!

Although.... to get super mid-school, the hole through the seat tube as a cable stop in fact worked the best for 990's. Straight line pull with very short straddle cable for minimal flex. Standard was the first one to start the long straddle cable around the seat tube thing, if I remember right....

22" wheels, 23"tt, 71šsta, (race tubing up front) custom Holmes. At 6'4" its the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden. Handles just like my 20,but a little more stable and WAY faster.

Definitely won't be a 20" this time though. For those who have tried both, what feels better 22" or a Model C? I've ridden 26" for years and I couldn't get back into riding such small wheels on my bmx.

To me the 22" still feels VERY much on the BMX side of things while the Model C (and most other 24" non race frames I have rode) feel like a 24" but give you that taste of ramping like what a 20" gives. It sounds like if you don't want the feel of a 20" you should try your hand on the 24" before the 22". These are just my two cents though..... what the fuck do I know anyway?
