On One Pompino owners...

Not just you. I had to cut one a stronglight crankset off a bike due to sripped threads from the self extractor dust caps.

Buy a crankpuller and bin the self extracting caps. You can use an old spoke cut down and bent into a U shape - insert into the holes of the dust cap and twist to remove them..

Definitely would have done that as I have a puller but already ruined the threads haha. No biggie I'll just ride it til the bb goes then replace the whole lot. What a shit component. I emailed px about it. Maybe they will replace it.

That's what I did. I'm concerned the puller will also just pull out as the threads get destroyed once the inner pin is pressed into the bottom bracket axle.

Truvativ Stylo T20 (rise 30mm) ;)

crank pullers engage more threads, so less likelyhood of stripping. the story that stronglight threads strip is ancient though, really bad pr and form of them.

@Lobos Thanks.

set my pomp as a single speed. Is it normal that a can see the fork flexing under heavy braking?

Mine keeps getting more dadcore

I'm thinking of putting a disc fork on my Pompino. The replacement fork has a rake of 50 mm and axle-to-crown of 400 mm. I think the longer (by 10 mm) axle-to-crown roughly compensates the extra 5 mm of rake.

Would this fork be a bad idea handling wise or geometry?

That'll be jolly fine

Ta.

Any Pomp fans interested in this:

Large frame with a few "modifications". It's had the chainstay bridge cut out (to aid mud clearance) and the eyelets cut off the track ends, so no mudguards/racks. Paint has been touched up with hammerite anti-rust at these points, agricultural but does the trick.

Ritchey WCS fork. Silly light and silly expensive at RRP. Lawyers lips filed down and a few marks but overall in good condition.

Ritchey WCS headset. Smooth.

Can throw in some cantilever hangers, if they're your brake of choice too.

£150 fair?

If anyone fancies those forks to go on their existing pompino, I have a pair for sale.

Is the cat included?

if it were a medium i might have bitten your hand off. glws

Do they work okay with a track hub?

Yep. As far as I can remember, they're rim not disc brake.
Pretty sure I used a pair of fixie wheels when I rode them.

Cool, i'd be interested in them for my pomp if you could check that out.

Has anyone removed the decals from a raw v4? I've seen a few in photos, but I'm wondering about the process.

When you say track hubs what do you mean?
Do you mean will a 100mm front hub fit? This fork will fit a 100mm front hub.
What is your front hub size?

It'll be a ball ache I reckon.

It's a 100mm hub, one of these

It was more a question of would the dropouts be okay with track nuts. It may be a silly question, I've never looked closely at the dropouts on my bikes to know if the QR ones are different.

I used track nuts on it and quick release.
Where are you based? I'm in SE1 and se26 if you want to come and kick the tyres, so to speak.

Up in Leicester these days, moved from working in London a while back, so it would be a post job, if you're willing.

Do you have any photos?

I'll get some together.
