On One Pompino owners...

Thanks Lemonade and Doppelkorn. I will look at the panniers in Wiggle. Doppelkorn which Ortliebs do you have?

Oooh god knows...they say Waterproof Classic on them.

Thanks. That'll be the Classic then. I've just looked at the specs again (these were the panniers I was originally considering) and they don't seem so pricey now I've realised its the price for a pair.

You'll be fine, the cheaper panniers have very little adjustment (fore and alf) whether the pricier one allow you to set it as far back as possible.

Cheers.

I was locking my bike today and it occurred to me the bosses for the rack on the wishbone are very close to the canti straddle cable. Am I going to need to swap to a mini V?

I assume a rack is designed for a certain rear spacing would do you need to bend the rack in order to accommodate a 120 mm spaving?

Cheers

Nah, the Tortec's stay curved away from the straddle cable.

Don't worry about the spacing, you just need a bit of effort to push it in enough to screw in the bolt.

My stays do touch the canti yoke but only because they're borked and the rack is bent because it got hit by a (police) car.

Anyone have any Pompino forks for sale. Need ~23cm of steerer. Dont care what colour.

they're £30 from On One at the moment.

Thanks for the heads up on this. Pulled the trigger yesterday.

no worries, I'd been looking at them myself earlier in the day.

No more sweaty back is a liberation.

Second that!

Where you @ Pade? Im in California and have a large white F&F + headset i'd like to sell.

Argh, new forks don't come with star nut installed...

Of course they don't. Forks always* need cutting anyways.

I use one of the compression plugs (I think that's what they're called). It's really easy to install, move from one fork to another and can be used on carbon forks as well. I've got an MPart and Hope one both work equally well.

I use a hammer and long piece of threaded bar to square in up once it's in!!!

I bought a star nut setter a while ago, only about £15 and makes it much easier

Very satisfying to twat with a hammer too

ive got a weird question but....

I have a pompetamine frame and I cant afford to get a whole new wheelset yet to set it up with disc brakes currently.

Can anyone think of a genius way to mount any type of rear brake on it.

Currently riding fixed so all is good but would sometimes be fun to pop a freewheel on it.

Engineers assemble!

One of these and a few extra jubilee clips should do as a temp solution if you want v or cantis...

Link is for the distributor, see if your LBS can get one or there are a few places selling them online.

Bloody hell they are like £30!
