Faction 22 meets Fit Lurch
- Thread starter iksmudge
- Start date
Because most new bmx frames are designed with shorter dropouts (less horizontal adjustment room) I don't think a 22" rear wheel is going to fit on a FIT Lurch. You would need a 20" frame that has 1"+ of extra dropout slot to pull the wheel back.
But it DOES fit on a 1997 Hoffman TAJ
. However the cs is at 15.75" to make it work. :
As for the front wheel, you'd have to use a 22"-specific fork, which would tilt the front end up the frame up.
Clearly it's best to have a frame with the rear triangle specifically designed for 22"s. The new Faction 'Amero':
FIT Lurch is a good looking bike. I like how somebody made a 20" not all super-low-slung.

I have the new Amero... gonna build it up this week. I'll post pics soon.
Ah didn't I just know it!
CMC is there nothing you haven't tried out? :>
Yeah I like the look of the Lurch too - can't stand all this low slung stuff - things are starting to look like scooters!
That Amero looks amazing, though there is just something about that lurch...

Oh one other thing - I 'm currently riding with the stock cranks that came with my faction - I don't suppose you guys know how big the spindle dimensions are do you - I 'm sure it's 22mm but want to be sure.
Thinking of getting a better crank this Xmas as I'm sick of adjusting the things all the time.

Personally I'm not a fan of the Spanish BB, but whatever.
