Ta, will order some.

SJS have them too:

I do the same thing by the way:
Works a treat. The clips seem to be pretty much indestructible. Be warned, though, they can start to squeak after a while - a drop of oil on the inside sorts that out.

Mudguards and track ends can be a bit of a ballache, but I got an extra pair of the quick release black tab things that you connect the front guard with and put them on the back.
Means I can pop the mudguard off without needing an allen key if I need to take the wheel out.
I like this idea.

what about canti vs mini v at stopping power in heavy snow and ice ?
I'm still not sure yet what tires to get for that purpose too as the weather is changing fast here in Finland.I tried canti's here in Norway last winter to see would they help with clearance, really wouldn't recommend! They need so much adjustment to get 'good' breaking power. I switched to vees as soon as I could.
Also I ran 35c schwalbe winter tyres on a pomp with sks commuter mudguards no problem
-
Running cantis on mine no problem. Their Avid Shorty 4 with a Cane Creek lever for drop bars. I even switched to road style pads rather than the longer canti pads. To do so required the mounting hardware (nuts and bolts) from the same brand canti pads.
The road pads allows easy changing of pads and possibly a wider choice. Many V-brake pads have a post built in is you cannot simply swap the pad. This means more faffing and alignment when changing pads.

It's also the case that many road pads have studs built in, and you can get post mount cartridge pad holders for which most of the same compounds are available as road pad cartridges.
Not to say you shouldn't experiment, I preferred the feel of cantis after I swapped to short road pads. Then I got rid of that bike and bought a Pompetamine so that I could have proper brakes.
-
I much preferred the feel with road pads on the cantis and it seemed to me the braking performance was vastly improved even with the same compound pads.
I don't understand the perceived better performance as the canti and V-brake pad shape was supposedly designed to improve performance with those brakes.
-
Is anyone riding a medium pomp? and how tall are you?
I tried to order a large but they are out of stock :(
-
I'm really impressed with the cheap cantis I've got on mine, I can lock up both wheels with one finger. Think they've got MTB pads on though.
-
cheers will do.
Having looked at the Geo I reckon it would fit me, maybe a bit better than the large. -
I use an M frame, and I'm 176cm tall. It's perfect. From what I've seen, it's better to get a smaller frame, it's easier to adjust than a larger frame ...
Here are a few pictures of my Pomp... Almost finished. All it's missing are SRAM S500 brake levers that I'll get as soon as I find a good deal:)
It's equipped with mudguards for the winter, and 32mm tires.
It weighs in at 9.1kg for now. I might shave another 0.5-0.7kg with a new carbon fork, but I'm not in a hurry of making that jump yet.

Hey, what size rotor is anyone running with a BB7 road calliper, on the rear of a pompetamine? Just tried to fit a 140 with no luck. 160 any good?

I had a pair from an old set of guards, not sure if you can get them on their own. It's the metal bits that are called stays I believe.
