I just put 'em through a three hour session. There is no break in period. They gripped amazing right away. Rode them at 80psi and the beads didn't budge. I am going to buy an amero and another set of f22 tires to support Faction.Right now I am riding a 22 holmes and I have the revenge pinned rims laced to profiles. The tires are holding on the rims perfectly and are perfectly formed. Kudos Faction! These tires have pushed the 22 into a solid option and I believe the 22 is here to stay now
Anyone who’s currently thinking of buying a BMX with a top tube longer than 21″ is crazy not to be buying a Faction Amero instead!!
I ordered using the Bill Me Later option which is just right for me, I HAD to get one.
Bike arrivved in 5 days from England (thanks guys) the looks and quality are awesome, far better than my boy Siranden's holmes 22 in every way.
I'll send you the photos from next session at the gates trails, feels likeI only have to think of a trick and I make it. 22s are a universe away from anything else.

Review - first ride of Faction Amero BMX 22inch wheels
Date Published: 04/07/2013
This bike rides like a dream. Took it out for the first time today... the geometry is so dialed, the bike is light, nimble and super trickable. Only one guy even noticed that my wheels were 22's. Once he rode it he said 'damn that thing would be a trail slayer!'
Huge thanks to Keith and Faction for finally getting the perfect BMX together. I have been dreaming of getting a 22" since forever. The Amero rides even better than it looks. I've set it up with 8.5" bars which is probably the only bad bit of geometry on the whole bike. Well done guys you've got a winner on your hands.
Told you I'd write a review!

never felt so at home on a bike, I think it gives taller riders like myself an advantage i'v never found from riding larger frame 20s. im excited to see how it will change my riding. strait away i felt i was going faster and higher than normal. i have to admit i was a little sceptical before, but I really couldn't fault it.
5 / 5 stars
10 or so runs through my backyard trails on the Amero.
It definitely feels much more like a 20" than the Holmes that I rode. The speed and stability of the 22's far exceed my 20's. The other guys that came out to ride said that for once I was was riding a bike that actually looked like it fit me.
