  • hello pomp owners.

    7 speed pomp

    if i buy:

    7 speed wheel
    7 speed screw on freewheel
    7 speed mech
    7 speed friction shifter (bar mounted)
    7 speed chain
    track end mech hanger adapter
    cable ties
    external cable housing

    i should be able to squeeze the 126mm spaced wheel into my 120mm spaced frame with some muscle and have gears on a pompino

    has anyone done this? am i overlooking something

  • The beauty of fixed wheel? Remember coasting is bad for fitness, they've proved it

  • I‘d say yes that could work. Is there no 120 internal gear hub though?

  • did that,
    cold-set to 130mm,
    made the dropouts parallel again,
    got an old hanger from another crashed frame brazed on,
    full external housing with zip-ties

    go on, if you like to, i wouldn't necessarily recommend, but if you already have most of the stuff, do it, it will work

    the only inconvenience i have is the back brake, because of using mini-vs and their little tolerances in setting up, taking the wheel in and out is a little more time consuming, so the breakpads are aligned

    still love it

    some more little input on the spacing part,
    a lot of old hubs can be re-spaced, usually there is a spacer on the nondrive-side, you can take out or replace,
    you should dish the rim afterwards and maybe have to shorten the axle

  • I’ve rammed a 130 hub in the back of two pomp’s, without doing anything else. I’m still here to tell the tale
