Polo Bikes

Mine is 130 but i have the blb freestyle hub which has long axels, just tightened it down with no spacers, works good.
Riks answer seems like the best solution unless you can squeeze the drop outs by hand whilst putting the hub in place.

Yeah I can tighten it down (requires 2 people) as there isn't much spare thread,
but the chain line is off which is why I need to re space it I thought.

Re-space what? A 130mm back end will have the same chain-line as a 120mm back end? Axle length doesn't change cog position.

Or am I missing something?

Ha, no quite right M. I'd need a shorter BB but I'm not sure there's room.

I'm so confused I just had to go out to the car park to measure my rear end to make sure I wasn't losing my mind...

I took the rear wheel out of my 120 spaced Steamroller and slotted it directly into my 120 spaced Pompino about six months ago. There was no wrestling involved.

If you care about your frame, cold set it. It's easy to do and if you aren't sure about it then pop in and ask Ryan to do it and check it on his flat table.

If you just tighten it down as suggested above, the frame won't immediately snap/break/fail but you are putting the chainstay and dropout under tension that they're not designed to deal with. Not good long-term.

Yours is 120 mine is 130. Not comparable.

That's fine, I just had no idea they made a 130 spaced version.

I'll need a smaller BB to bring the chain line in right? And a 130 axle to save squashing in the frame every time we flip.

Not good long-term.

Thanks J.

Its only a pompino :)

True. Just do what Adam keeps talking about and buy another one as a spare that has the right spacing.

Does anyone have a 33t 104 bcd for sells?

ebay

Joni, really, please...

long enough axel, £5

your local bike shop to do the job, if you dont want to ask anybody or dont want to do it yourself
tools need it, cone spanners, 15mm wrench
time involve 30min, tops (if do it by yourself)

i used my alan, which is from the early 80ies, for polo for 2 years, without any problems with crashes or something with the lugs

Ha, pwnd. ;)
I did google it, honest Cheif. Will be popping down to lbs with said axle.

ask in your LBS, maybe the guy has a axel in the spare box for nil, and you can reuse your cones and spacers

forget about the chainline it will be fine

That's fine, I just had no idea they made a 130 spaced version.

120,130 and 135mm (fixed, road/mtb, mtb)

140mm tandem

On-one doesnt do Pompino tanden version, sorry, but good try

Tandem polo! Who's in?

There was a couple trying it out at the Brizzle tourney.

Sadly, they died...

Fairly pricey, happy for a second hand one.

Also, does anyone have a crankset for sells? Need (Dean) to go lower than 38t (130bcd) so anything smaller?
