• I'm considering picking up a pompetamine frame that I've found for sale. I'll be needing a rear wheel for it, and just wondering if anyone has anything suitable lurking about their person.
    135mm spacing
    9mm QR,
    700/29"
    Tubeless ready preferred
    rims wide enough for 35mm tyres (at least)

    I think that's what I need. This will probably be brought to the pub, and left at various dubious spots around town, so nothing too fancy.
    Or does anyone have any suggestions if I were to get something new?
    I have a front wheel, which I think will fit, but will consider a full wheelset if you're trying to get rid.

    Cheers

  • sure you want qr wheel for a frame with track ends?

  • Single speed disc hubs tend to be expensive niche items. You can take a normal disc brake rear wheel and put a sprocket on with spacers to get the best single speed chainline.

    I have a mavic rim laced to a Hope pro evo 2 hub.

    £70?

  • Just use a chain tug.

  • Ah, OK. Wasn't aware that that would be a bad idea. Thanks for the question/feedback, I'd rather my lack of knowledge to be revealed than me taking a bite out of some tarmac. Are there axle bolts/fasteners that you'd go for? And any axle diameter that I should look for/avoid?

  • Cheers James, thanks for the info and for the offer. I'll have a think and a look around, and let you know if I want the wheel. I guess that would give me more adjustability with the chainline too...
