Surprisingly hard to find on the Planet X web site, given that if you filter by 'wheel diameter' then they don't show up

Maybe, I'll send you a pic of the clearances.

Thanks. Think I’m finished buying tyres anywhere other than planetx anymore

Unless you want tubeless

haven't quite got to that yet personally

Seemingly I don't know how to use search. Is there someone running their pomp 650b and with a straggler 650b fork? thinking of trying that setup

You will get 10 mm less axel-to-crown on the fork. The disc trucker fork in 700C has the same axel-to-crown as the original pomp fork.

You can search within the thread, the option should be on a drop down menu at the top right of the page.
I really like the versatility of my pompino with 33c cross tyres, kind of struggle to see why anyone would want 650b. I guess if no mud is involved the extra plush ride might be nice.

almost done rebuilding my pompino with a front disk fork. With 3 weeks old baby it's been a long work

yes it's this one, it's the 377mm a2c. it seem really well made and not too heavy. i still didn't try it so i don't how does it ride yet

I bought some road forks from the same seller and didn't get stung with anything. Did take a month to arrive though.

Nice. I should really build a fork myself if I decide to go for a disc brake on my Pomp but I doubt I could get the raw materials for that money.

I love the fork! Nice build over all.

• #8018
That fork looks perfect on it!

thanks to all, i thought to paint the fork black but once installed the cromed look cool so i'll leave it like that. i just want to install the gravel king 32mm that are sitting in the cupboard but i'm too tired to do it...

My setup is 170mm omniums. I had to use a spacer on the non driveside for chainstay clearence. I also had to file a mm of the crankarm. But I’ve been riding it hard all year round for about 3 years now with no issues.

Great job! Looks ace!

Finished the pomp, thanks to Parts and Labour for building the wheelset!
Not the lightest but should be good for trucking around town.
I’ve put several coats of clear lacquer over the paint in an effort to protect it. -

Good to know, thanks. Your build looks top!
-

Really nice. What did you use for the paint job?

Found it on eBay like this! I’ve only added some clear coat. Looks like acrylic paint over a black rattlecan
