On One Pompino owners...

The mudguard. Drill a hole in it = stress riser so more likely to crack. PDW guards do come with a clip that allows you attach to mounts like that without drilling.

Pretty sure I just used the normal brackets and zip ties on my Inbred where there wasn’t even a threaded hole.

I used a red hot bradawl to melt the hole through the guard rather than drilling it so I could use it - that's on my pomp. On my kaff (near identical but geared) I drilled and cut a thread a new hole where it usually be so I could use a supplied bracket.

Both have been fine since.*

'*Both now guaranteed to fail this winter.

The mudguard.. Usually bolt cutters will also work for the stays. A flap for the front mudguard is also very nice to have

Never had a problem with plastic guards breaking due to drilling but I did snap a VO hammered aluminium guard there. I’d been flexing it to get the wheel in and out and the guards were generally a bit shite though.

Has anyone got a rough idea of max tyre size for a pompetamine fork?

I had 35s in mine...

Perfect, cheers!

Hey guys, what kind of headset would you recommend for replacing the old On-One smoothie regular that came with my Pompino frame? Thx in advance.

Cane Creek 40 is great value

I've had an FSA Orbit MX on mine for years and still going strong

Thx, appreciated. So I assume any decent 1 1/8" external headset should be fine?

yep, even a £4 one from ebay!

FSA Orbit Equipe is about £25

looks like a good deal at that price :-)

Is anyone looking for reaonably ok pomp in medium? I might have one for sell shortly. It is this one (again, I bought it back after selling it) https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/309393/

Ha, still tempted 4 years on.

I'm starting a Pompetamine project now, but am still tempted too. Sweet bikes <3

Very interested, would medium be ok for someone 170cm/5'7 ?

Edit: reread the original listing so looks fine!

My Pomp being functional, also a bit anti as always, using all the racks & carradice today. #allrounder

I still need a 2nd pdw birdcage if anyone has a spare...

No sharp turns I guess?

I had to concentrate a bit more than usual but it was OK, the pic doesn't show the clearance was quite wide.

Tidy.

Headsets:
Need to replace the ancient, pitted FSA Orbit on my Mk1 Pomp. Any recommendations? I believe it needs to be an external 1 1/8 on these frames.

same again?
