Okay, to fit the tektro oryx brakes that came with the bike I realise I dont have all the right bits, I can ride it brakeless for the time being, as it is fixed!!!! Dont really like the Dia Compe brake levers that came with the bike anyway!!! I have some old Sora sti brake levers, could I use them instead?

Moog, thanks, but expensive!!! I have also got a deore brake lever that I could use, or just go no brakes (it is fixed).

RPM - cheers, confirmed what I thought. Got some Dia Compe 204 Touring Brake Levers. Will have to try to fit the cantilever brakes that the bike came with, only prob is that they didnt send a canti hanger!!!!!

Clefty, thanks for the offer, but I already have the brakes.

As the title says, trying to fit Deore V brakes to a pompino forks with roadie brakes. But nothing is working, do I need to attach a barrel adjuster, and where?

any help appreciated!

I am having difficulty getting my head round attaching the brakes sent with my bike. They are Tektro Oryx and 1st I didnt receive the canti brake holder for the front! so I have tried putting some Deore brakes on, but where can I fit the little bit to help tension the brakes as I am using roadie brakes (does that make sense?) Plus on the rear there is a piece on the frame to fit the tensioner but mine doesnt seem to fit. Need to see some pics to see how they fit/work!!

yeah those are the ones, thanks.

Can someone help me or point me in the right direction pls. Just got a new Pompino and it has come with the Tektro (Oryx) centre pull brakes. Never having used or fitted these before I need a little help, at the very least to figure out where to put the cable tensioners!!

Any help greatfully received.....

Doesnt really glow, but then I have heard it needs some UV light first as well, and frankly mine has been indoors all day!

Mine has the glow in the dark paint - will just pop out to check if it glows or not............................!

..................and maybe take a better pic!!!!!!

Pompino...............still need to attach brakes and bar tape.

mdcc_tester - thanks, yeah I think that was it. Anyway, all done, bike ready to be finished, rode it home today from my friends shop, 1st impressions very good.

BTW do I need a pics website to show pictures?

OK, my BB tool is just not going to work, maybe should have had the BB shell reamed (?) 1st????
Secondly, really need to cut the steerer tube down, and finally just realised that I have never owned or worked on cantilever brakes before!!!! Ah well if it doesnt work I have an old set of deore v brakes from my first in-bred.

So 1st thing tomorrow off to my mates bike shop!!!!! Shame I thought I might be able to try it out tomorrow, especially as a very good day promised!!!!

Mine arrived arrived yesterday, had the headset fitted today and (baby dependant!!!) would like to crack on with the build this evening, pics to follow!!!!!

I have ordered the glow in the dark with orange tires, should be easy to see me!!!!

Nice, is that the green glow in the dark?

Still waiting for mine, really would like to see it now!!! 2 weeks to wait for a pompino.......!!!

Hope you enjoy your Pomp. I'm on my 3rd...first crashed, second stolen. You may want to upgrade the freewheel pretty quick, the standard 'Eagle' one is a bit poo and the fixed gear and lockring are cheapy too. Otherwise it's all good. You gone for drop bars or flats?

Drop bars, mainly got it for the frame and wheels, if and when the freewheel goes just swap it, got a pretty good shop here for all things Singlespeed and fixed.

cant be any worse then the Felt Curbside I have, which I like very much but after 6 months the rear wheel is shot, and the freewheel on that has never been great!!! The Curbside will have its brakes reattached and a babyseat fixed on for the summer, hopefully the wheel will stand up to that!!!

Hi first time poster, thought this would make a good first post as I have just ordered an pompino, in glow in the dark green. The name could raise a few eyebrows here as I live in Italy!!!!! Looking forward to finally see the bike and of course ride it, it is mainly for my commute to work and back, but I might try a few passes as well.

Will get some pics up when it arrives................
