On One Pompino owners...

That's hilarious! Why?!

Why not?

If you've got the money...

There's plenty of previous discussion of geared conversions using DMR tugs in the thread already just UTFS.

Incase you can't be arsed, they work.

Do it with a 7 speed cassette wheel and you'll minimise the amount of cold setting required. There's also plenty of discussion about how cold setting the rear end of the Pomp is probably a bad idea since they seem quite willing to get cracky even without this treatment.

giant tcx or pomp… hmmm… aluminium or steel…
wish bikes where easier to choose!

Best set-up would be a singlespee/ trail hubs and add 5 cogs in it.

Only concern is whether the spacing between each cog is idea for a friction set-up.

No, because those hubs are 135mm OLN, which is going to worse for the frame than a 130mm OLN road hub.

In that case, a 120mm freehubs.

I bet those are cheap :-)

If you re-dish a flip-flop hub, there's probably enough room for an old fashioned 5-speed freewheel, after all that's what we used in the olden days when road frames were 120mm OLN.

Very cheap indeed.

Grand Bois is working on a 130mm 5-6 speed hubs for those who want to run that set-up on a modern frame.

If you're going to splash out £150 on a hub, you might as well run the sprockets at 10-speed pitch, get 7 of them on there and use modern shifters. That way, you could use the spidered-together big sprockets off a modern cassette (e.g. CS-6700), which is also cheaper than the custom-spaced Grand Bois 6-speed.

Alternatively, buy a kaffenback?

Don't spoil our fun ;-)

That frame up there isn't a Pomp, it's a Fairweather.

Any options for this? I wondered if it could be done with a hope pro3 hub shell, single speed freehub body and a custom axle but I'd rather buy off the shelf.

The Grand Bois is the the off-the-shelf solution for a shortish cassette rotor on a 120mm OLN axle. Compared with trying to assemble something from hope spare parts, it's not bad vfm. I was suggesting a different cassette on the GB hub, not a different hub.

Oh yeah, sorry, I kind of missed that the Grand Bois had a cassette and not a freewheel.

Anyone here using a Shimano BR-CX77 or BR-R517 brake on a Pompetamine?

It looks like On One have uploaded some pics of the new Pompino frame.

(It's not linked anywhere but the old URL had FROOPV3 so not a big leap.)

I spoke to an on one sales guy on the phone before Christmas and they said the new frames would be on sale by the end of Jan. I guess that's unlikely now. I know some people were told end of Dec so it does seem to be dragging a bit. Does anyone know of any more solid dates?

Look like there's bigger clearance on the rear for 35 with mudguard.

Headtube looks bigger than a normal 1 1/8th external, is this zerostack/integrated/semi/stealthtaper?

nah pretty sure its standard, just looks weird cos theres not steerer.

Appears to have an internal eyelet on the drive-side seat stay but not on the non-drive side :/

It has 2 sets of eyelets on each track end.

I think you're looking at the chain hanger?
