On One Pompino owners...

This game is 90% of why I'm still log in to this place I think

I'm only here to bully people into buying mountain bikes

what's the fitness like when your knee is blown out

I've got myself into an inescapable schtick, I don't have any answers just more "material"

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

am i overlooking something

this is for the partner!!! not me!! their ankle is bad!!

this is very helpful @FlnFnk , im using v brakes so should aleviate it a bit on the brake front, i remember it being a pta without a mech when running vs!

@Oddo i was thinking internal gears but part of me just really loves a low gear external drive train - and a chance at doing a 7 speed bike seems fun!

I said I wouldn't necessarily recommend, i take that back

perfect candidate, do highly recommend

n+1 is even more satisfying when you're growing your partners bike collection

Fyxation actually made a kit for 120 spaced track frames to 6 speed. Not sure if that's desirable or even obtainable.

I just thought an IGH might look cleaner. External 7 speed seems to be more versatile though (and most probably cheap to set up).

I am pretty sure I have a gear hanger for ss dropouts in a box. Let me know if you want it.

just checking, this seems legit right?

AFAIK only v4 didn't have the wishbone-kind of rear so this must be that?

this is genuinely impressive technically, if it wasnt 350$ it would be an easy win,

i think looking around casually and not "being fussy", as the rider is not, the overall cost for a 7 speed conversion with friction shifting, including wheel and new cranks/chainring should be about 120-150£ or less

i would absalutely love that ss conversion hanger if you have it, that would get the ball rolling

it really looks like an OG pomp

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

Very nice, what fork is that please?

No changes, just a big carry day. Still room for Pannier bags.

(Slack chain, I know)

Locks on locks on locks. Most secure pomp about

Ha well spotted. My daughter was on her bike with me, and we'd had to borrow my partners lock as daughter had left hers at a friends house so we collected it and had 3 then.

I was Sherpa for the day.

sry for the late reply, bought ca. 8 years ago, german mailorder "house brand", alu steerer, kind of cheap

didn't believe in finding one, but actually found one that should match

That's ace. I'm a sucker for a utilitarian Pomp. What's the front rack?

Ta, rack is Pelago

Mine on the commute this morning. I'll take it up around the forest later.

I've just picked this up which I think is a v4 pomp with no stickers. Will I be able to squeeze some 42's I've got in if I lose the guards?
