. . . .  I think there might be some Pirhanas in the UK still. I think that's what they were called. From what I've heard, most of those suck with a few being ok. And I mean VERY few. CMC will probably chime in shortly about those. I think he is or was running one

Yeah, that's right.  They were on Ebay UK, under the name Meghna or Pirhana.   I got something like 10 or 12 shipped.  And I think some other people did too.  Some had a warp/bulge type problem, but some were okay.

I'm running the Faction F22's now though.

I forget about these threads sometimes, here is my Holmes 22. I changed a few things out, but it's prime time perfect now.

Anyone on the S&M Mainlines yet? I'll be ordering a pair shortly to try out.

Yes. I love them. 100% better then the other choices.

Anyone know if S&M has discontinued the 22" forks? I could only find them in the custom section.

hope not, it took 3 months when I special ordered mine

When you're on the site, click on the image of the fork and then choose the size option in the drop-down menu, 20", 22" or 24". They still sell them.

Hi all.  I have spent a couple of hours reading this thread from beginning to end.  I think we need to discuss whether or not the 22" game is here to stay or not? 

I see positive indicators such as the release of the Mainlines and Felt's entry into the market and I see negative signs also such as S&M not planning to offer the Revenge Arc rims as just rims. Chrome 22" Wheelsets only now.  They also have discontinued the Holmes 22".  If S&M is having doubts, shouldn't we all? 

I am in the market for a 22" frame and fork and have been a little worried about the future of the breed.  I was under the impression that the genre was growing steadily.  Am I mistaken?
 
Tonight when I saw that S&M(erroneously) had stopped making forks for 22" bikes, it made me wonder what the experts think.  Chime in with any info, positive or negative, I am still going the 22" route but am afraid I will not be able to find good rims if Revenge backs out.  I called them and they called me back and said they had no plans to sell the rims separately at this time.  I was hoping they would have all those bad ass colors coming out in 22" and instead they have nothing!  Bummed.  I really need to find a new set of black Arcs.  Something tells me that is a looooongshot now. 

Thanks for all the valuable info I have been able to glean from this thread.  It has really taught me alot and made me want a 22" just that much more.  Just worried about getting parts in the future.

I didn't want to post this news just yet but since benny4130 is having doubts here it is. ARC hoops will b available as hoops only in a few months (around 3 I heard). Black only. S&M will b producing more 22" frames soon, they're just too busy wit other projects right now. So rest assure 22" will b around in the foreseeable future

That is GREAT news!!!
