Well I had my first outing on the Pomp today and it wasn't exactly successful..... The bike itself is nice to ride, it feels light(ish) and reasonably nimble. The problem was the rear wheel would slip anytime I put some sort of power down, usually when I was out the saddle on a gradient. My other SSCX bikes have all had track nuts and I've never had a problem. It was that bad I broke a skewer by over tightening it... How do folk solve the issue with normal QR skewer rear wheel? Is there a 135mm solid axel available?
