On One Pompino owners...

When the mud&slush trails appears soon, you'll enjoy the 2:1 ratio, because you need to remain seated to get any traction on the rears - out of saddle megawatts is not an option.

Should work fine with these:

?

Should do, assuming they're standard road pull. I'm running mine with SRAM S500s

Got a new fork and front rack;

few more shots

^Fan!

^ big fan, thats kinda what I'm trying to build but fixed gear with a pompino.

what rack is that?

thanks mates

It's a bit modified steco.

what modifications did you make?

I was looking at getting a TCB rack but yours looks much cheaper and pretty sturdy.

Looks pretty similar to the Basil racks, I chopped the back of mine down a bit so it was similar shape to makko's. I've probably posted a pic in this thread.

Yep, and i was gonna get a basil first but got this cheaply from a friend so couldn't resist :). Chopped the back and shaved the bits that goes to axle so now i can remove the rack with less hassle.

It seems sturdy but on the other hand it weights a ton since its made from steel, but i'm happy so far.

It looks real good man.

I have a brand new All City nature boy fork, in black for sale. £90 - which is £20 less than I paid 2 weeks ago!

They look awesome on pomps, so thought somebody might fancy them

thedopestghost, I've got one of those racks taking up space in my flat. I'll PM you.

This is mine.
Still need to change the bars & levers, get mudguards & either a front or rear bag.
Forks came via the forum and are so much better than the stock.

Picked up a second hand Pompino recently... in a bit of a bad state:

Not sure if I should clean it up or not... Will be used for commuting and locked up outside for most of the day, so the worse looking the better probably...

Pomps are quite at home being grubby, but it pains me to see a HB-7600 in that condition. :(

And already looking at some upgrades for it... is the Kinesis alloy cx fork a nice and worth while upgrade? Found a brand new one for 50£

I think a Nature Boy fork would look the business.

Nah, Kona P2 are nicer :D

I looked those up. They are as heavy as the stock pompino forks...

Are alloy forks better or worse than steel and carbon forks regarding ride comfort?

I'd guess at worse.

I must admit to having some stock Cube alloy forks on mine and all is well with comfort, possible due to larger volume tyres, a forgiving frame and 25.4 dia bars?

Worse. Soz. I'd go carbon or steel on a Pomp

The NB forks are heavy, not two ways about it. But they look really great on a pomp and work with at the headtube junction.

Oh and yes I do have some available at an incredibly reasonable price!

;)

Would the weight saving not be a major factor in considering different forks though? The kinesis alloy ones are 330g* lighter than stock pompino or the nature boys.
