I don’t know. I haven’t yet found a 22 inch frame in a model I like, that’s in good condition. The 22 inch frames are rare as hen’s teeth where I live. Even finding 20 inch frames can be difficult.

But it can be any old 8 speed wheel? The cone from that wheel will fit the cup on my 550 hub? Or is that where the XTR M900 hub specifically comes into play?
