  • Anyone ever swapped out their pomp dropouts for geared? I know you can get a little hanger to stick in... Was wondering on the best way to turn the pomp into a proper 130mm geared back end (and disc while I'm at it).

    @M_V ? I know there's an old thread where @Hulsroy did it but it raised the back end about 15mm or so with some custom inserts things...

  • I did it the same way as @Batt- the only issue I found is that the hanger insert moves the mech about 5mm outboard so it takes some extra fiddling to index for the granny gear.

    Also it's a complete pain in the arse to change a tube. Unlike Batt's I use SKS front mudguard stays for the rear guard, so they can pop out without having to undo the bolts.

  • Yes, when I used to commute with mudguards on this bike it was a total arseache.

    I'm leaning towards the most simple solution (or one of), which is to weld on a hanger like this if I can find one. Different dropout but you get the idea:
