    Briefly. I used the DMR one.

    Something to consider is that you’ll probably have to cold set the rear out a bit and it seems that the Pomps that have failed have done so at the chainstay/bb area which is the area you’ll be stressing if you cold set it.

    I used a 120mm spaced 5 speed screw on hub but they are pretty rare so more likely you’ll end up using a 127 or 130mm hub.

  • I'm in the process of spacing mine out to 130 and welding a hanger on. Could be a disaster but let's see.

  • Same experience as @M_V but with 130old 10 speed, no cold set which was risky given Pomp failure modes and a PITA getting wheel in and out etc. Rode to Bristol, loaded (didn’t skip a beat) then disassembled for no other reason than no longer needed.

    TL;DR DMR hangar works as advertised and if you’re going to do it, cold set and forget.
