Cullen, have you ridden an S&M 22" yet? Why is it that I like that one a lot, but can't get down with how your or Vern's bikes feel? I pedaled the show bike from Vegas around and it felt exactly how I would have wanted. Pulled up nice and held manuals, bunny hopped nice, and felt like it had the proper responsive front end.
This was all just in a ride up and down the isle of the show, so its not like I am sending it on any jumps. But after pedaling it around at the show.....I want to send it off some jumps...haha.
No, but I'm sure it's rad, too. (The Holmes is very similar to the 2Ton on the bb height and back end, but the InDust is just longer in the front end (21.75"tt), esp when considering the laid back seat tube angle on the Holmes). And, I just saw this on bmxmuseum: "S&M posted on their twitter that they are welding up 22's with 22" top tubes."
As long as people are getting stoked on a new option, it's all good.
Hopefully this will continue and there will be more tire options.
