"In the article, Mike talks about his desire to put together “the biggest-wheeled bike that was allowed to race” in the 20- inch class."

"According to the UCI rule book that meant the diameter of the wheels, including the inflated tires, could not exceed 22 1/2 inches (57 cm)."




Hmmm.  Maybe he should have done 12.5" bb, not 11.5" bb, if he wanted it to feel the "same" as his 20.  Gotta look at bb height relative to axles, not relative to the ground.  ;)

^ Redline has one as well. Pretty funny to me that so many people thought 22 inch wheels was a dumb idea and now...

the fucked thing is, the OS tires that Redline/GT are using is just centimeters smaller than the 22 inch wheels everyone else is running.

If it takes off in racing then it has a good chance. Factories understand the idea of a race and any advantage being worth pursuing. If it is a different ERTO to the Faction ones then that is a pisser, but it may well be that the Faction ones would lead to a tyre that was too big for the ******* UCI...

what did you do to injure it?

Have you tried Bikram yoga? That (and surgery) saved my back.

I measured the diameter with the stock Faction Zeitgeist tires inflated and they are less than 22.5". Faction guys have already been racing in the UK in the 20" class. The F22 may be slightly taller, haven't had a chance to measure it yet.

One of the blokes who runs Faction was at the jam today and I had a go on his bike. It felt awesome to ride, seemed to iron out any of the little bumps in the park and size-wise didnt feel too much different to a Bmx.
