On One Pompino owners...

Are you still looking? I have a small (frame only) that I no longer need.

Yay! Don't bother brazing or welding anything. Keep it as is.

I don't know, sorry! Ask @t0-ster

@Hodia can answer that one :)

Here's a shot of clearance with a tire size that @Hodia also can tell you more about (700x32?)

Ha, we'll see. Currently I can't use above 32c as pushing any further back in dropouts causes cassette/chain to foul on the tensioner. Going to see what can be done to adapt / pervert to make it fit as needed.

Another non-brazed solution could be to drill removable hanger and drill / tap track ends and fasten that way. Thoughts?

Saying that, grinding off a braze-on might prove easier than filling holes once I'm bored of this folly and realise I should probably just go and build a bike that's fit for purpose.

It's the "long" version of the Omnium fork.

There is ~32mm from the rim to the bottom of the fork on the short version

These tyres are 700x35.

Here a photos with 42c knobbies, but with another fork:

Genetic chain tensioner has no bits pointing towards the cassette:

If I can find them you can have a pair for nowt

This is the derailleur hanger, somewhat restrictive in that sense.

Quick thought; alu stop plate that fastens to the two mudguard / rack braze ons;

I have a pair of Hulsroy's custom sliding dropouts laying around, but no Pompino, so they can be yours.
They change handling a bit as they raise the rear wheel, and should solve your hanger/tensioner problem.

Might make it harder rather than easier to remove the wheel if the mudguard moves with the axle; you'd need quick-release mounts at the stays.

I'd mount the Genetic tensioner on top of the hanger, should be possible as the backside is flat where the hanger is mounted.

Ah, yep—remember these—certainly up for trying them, PM in-bound.

Thanks!

Yep — in this case the mudguard strut would still be mounted to the eyelet, albeit through the fixing plate (which is fixed in place via the mudguard / rack mounts). Point taken though.

@PepOne really nice idea but the deralleur hanger also has a protrusion for the dropout slot / axle (as apposed to skinnier QR skewer) which are both important to keep the derailleur in position and orientated. Also stacking these on the dropout would mean moving the hanger too far outboard for the derailleur to work properly.

Keen to try @Hulsroy 's sliding dropouts via Simba and see if it's what I'm looking for. If not then Plan B above (fixing plate) is an afternoon of work and seems feasible, at least to my bird brain.

I have a medium pomp for sale here if anyone is keen, soz in advance for the spam: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/309393/

Someone would have mounted a kaffenback with 650b wheels ?

thanks , it's your bike @Batt ?

Not mine, Google Image search.

Does anyone do a shimano alfine bike like the pompetamine any more?

Does omnium sell this fork on its own?
