On One Pompino owners...

Pagination is unique to individual users! Particularly if you have some of the tiresome bores of our great parish on ignore!

Tbh, Seabass replaced the headset bearings and a brake cable for me.

"but pastry_bot has access to good mechanics" - is that better?

Do you think this would work with a Pompino?

That’s a fair bit shorter than the pomp is designed to use. No doubt you won’t die in a ball of fire but why not just get a non-tight clearance fork?

Ahhh thanks man! But indeed, post proved a difficulty for pasty and I am now set for a city bruiser (all city dropout with soon to be added 395mm ac disc fork) and a hydro disc fixed 135mm octane one! Pomp's are still nice though!

A good 40mm shorter than the standard pomp a-c, which is definitely enough to notice a difference in handling. Personally I'd steer(lol) clear but people have done crazier shit and lived to tell the tale

Omnium must be measuring to the inside of the crown. Add ~2cm (so ~370mm a-to-c).

Picked up a V1 Pompino last month and currently changing a few bits on it, thinking of putting a spare set of Rocket Runs on it (35c) but not sure they'll fit, anyone here fitted a pair to a Pompino or anything bigger? Currently have 28c GP4000's on it and they already look a squeeze.

If they won't fit what's a decent CX / Gravel type tyre that will fit that doesn't break the bank?

33mm works on mine with room but it's a V3

Schwalbe CX Pro is one of the smallest cx tires you can get, and they’re cheap. If you want something more slick any touring tire will be fine.

Much appreciated, small and cheap is just how I like it. Haha

Didn't realise either but it's actually been two months since I've had it. Really do need to sort it out and get riding it.

Bought it with a flat bar, v-brake, slick tyre setup but changing it over to flared drops, cx tyres and canti's.

Sounds good... maybe except for the canti part ;)
Since you’ll run smaller tires, have you considered mini-v’s

There's a good priced XL Pompino on Gumtree in Scotland at the moment. Seller said he'd be happy to post.

I'm running a pair of 35mm g-ones plus guards on my V1 with room for more

Pompino "on the steel list" for 2020 if Planet X's Facebook page is anything to go by.

(Under the comments for their aluminium lineup.)

Huge if true.

Edit: apparently they announced this six months ago, so it's only news to me

Having crank clearance issues with what I believe to be a V1 Pompino.

Have tried Dura Ace Fc7710 with a 109.5 Octalink BB and Omniums: the DA strike the stays at the end of the cranks and the Omniums strike at the spider.

Is anyone currently running either of these setups? Should I try a longer BB on the DA’s which would be a 118 axel?

V1

Is it the 130/135mm spaced version?

Hmm, it’s spaced at 120. Unless it’s been respaced by a previous owner?

Perhaps it’s not a V1, it has the rear canti hanger and wishbone.

That's V3 I think?

I also think it's a V3.

V3 it is then!

Not sure why you’re having issues then. Pretty sure I’ve ran Omnomnoms on mine which looks pretty similar vintage.

My V3 needed the chainstay crimping to allow proper clearance for the omniums' spider.

selling/possibly splitting my Pomp... partner moaning about large numbers of bikes in the house equations being what they are and I don't really do pub bikes I realise.

V4 raw frame, 54 cm size. Bad bits: got expected patina from frame finish, one barely visible dent on top tube and needs rear canti brake pads replaced. Good bits: lots of almost new good quality parts

Lots of upgrades from stock all in excellent condition: straight steel disc fork with Hy/rd hydro calliper, SRAM/Pacenenti disc wheel, tektro drop and cross top levers, Stronglight cranks (almost new), Mavic ma3 fixed/free rear wheel (almost new) SRAM single speed chain and freewheel and chunky Vittoria revolution tyres all in sub 200miles of use condition.. have original fork too if wanted and a spare set of SKS silver Mudguards that would fit it.

Saddle will be swapped out for a Selle Turbo, currently has random old spd pedals on it sold as is. looking for about 300 bob complete.
