In all honesty I can't judge the durability of the sliding steering rack on the 22. I haven't had my 22 for that long, but I did buy it second hand and the previous owner gave me a very worn out one in the spares bag. Was this due to a design fault or lack of maintenance and cleaning? I don't know.
I do like the 22's steering for its compactness, I do worry a little about durability but then again with regular cleaning there's a chance it could be OK.
There's nothing wrong with old fashioned "80s" bellcrank designs, I've had those last an eternity! Over 15 years and only changed it as the plastic got ugly and yellow.
