On One Pompino owners...

35c

Now finished with race blades and bottle cage. Took it for a quick 30miles around the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside and can confirm, the Alfine 8 works like a dream. I've heard a couple of nightmare stories about the Alfine but so far I'm impressed!

Looks great, thinking about a similar build with alfine 11 if I ever get the money together!

The Alfine 11 works well. I rarely ride anywhere flat enough to ride ss. Main problem is the lack of options for shifters on drops. The versa do work, but are pricey and feel cheap.

As I run Vs on my Pomp, I'm looking at the currently-unused flying cable stop on the back and wondering if I can somehow turn it into a light mount?
Anyone ever mounted a rear light there?

I'm getting bored of near daily adjustments to keep my wobbly ass chromoplastics running straight, is there a consensus on the widest VO or Honjo guard that fits in the pomp rear end?

What are you having to adjust? My SKS chromoplastics seem rock solid. I set the rear up with a little extra clearance at the back so I can slip the wheel in and out and haven't had to adjust in a year.

I realised this weekend quite how noisy the Chromoplastics on my Cross Check are, kicking myself for not picking up some of the Honjo metal fenders when they were on sale at Kinoko a few weeks back.

I've never had to adjust my Chromoplastics either, except for the time I bailed and bent one of the stays.

The guard never seems to sit straight for too long. I've just straightened them now but pretty sure I'll have to do it again in a few days. Probably coz I stack my bikes up in the garage and the stays get hit by my other bikes. They do seem to rattle around quite a bit while riding so thought Ali guards might be stiffer.

My Chromoplastics seem fine too. I have the 45mm ones and there's bags of room.

ah mine never gets leaned on anything other than bike stands when locking up so I guess that helps.

Mine are old and I'm too lazy to adjust them. Probably could fix, hammered metal is more appealing though.

Ok, so I did a little sketch; I'd need

• a short piece of thin threaded bar that would fit through the existing cable stop hole
  
• two or more nuts for the threaded bar (shown here in orange)
  
• a short piece of flat steel, twisted through 90 degrees halfway along and drilled once at each end (shown here in pink)
  
• an old CatEye mount to bastardise (shown here in chartreuse)
  
• some washers
  
  

EDIT : Already realised I could use a bolt in place of the threaded bar, if I can find one.

Meccano could be your friend here...

m_v, do you have your SKS guards drilled and attached at the 'brake bridge' and chainstay bridge as well? Mine were fit in two places and then with the stays, and they never rattled or moved at all.

Just remembered I did this as well. It makes the guards really firm.

Bloody hell :(

Yeah my SKS are drilled and bolted. I'm maybe pushing the clearances, not sure what model the guards are but I think I'm using 35c tyres and there's not loads of room around them.

are the measurements for the medium correct on the on-one site?
I'm 170cm and in between small and medium..
I'm going to be running drops so might go small as drops will add extra reach..

I haven't checked the 2014 geo against the old monostay design, but if they're similar I'd go Small if I were you.
I'm 5'11" (180cm) and the Medium is ideal for me with an inline post and 100mm stem.
I imagine the TT would be a bit high for me if I were around 5'7".

cheers, yeah thats what I'm thinking. think i'd rather go on the smaller size and have a slightly more nippy bike then something too big and sluggish..

Just to confuse matters I am 182 cm and have a large frame with a setback of 25 mm on the seatpost and a +6 degree 110 mm stem with drops. A lot will depend on your arm and leg dimensions as well. I've forgotten my leg length but my jeans have a 32 in leg.

Ideally you would try one. I didn't have that advantage, not knowing anyone with a Pompino or an On-One bike/frame for that matter, but was lucky with the size.

I assume On-One's return policy wouldn't allow exchange of frames that had been built up.

what tyres are you running? I'm using 35c pasela's and although theres not much room left it's never been an issue. I never really take it off road though so I guess theres less chance of crap getting stuck between my tyre and guard.
