Front disk only + heavy front load = many endo situations. . It won't be such an issue if the weight was over the rear wheel.

I'm in tonight. My last night in London. :(
I've an assortment of quality bags for rubbish and recycling I want to donate for the open. If I bring them tonight can someone take them off my hands as it'll be difficult for me to bring them from Yorkshire on the train.

I can donate some massive heavy duty bin bags for rubbish and some large red and clear bags for recycling. It's my last night in London tonight before the LO. Can bring to Mitch tonight if they're needed and someone can collect and look after.

About 6 for me.

John i meant to get a couple of the smaller diameter black heads off you this weekend but had to shoot off, is it expensive to post just a couple or should i wait until London open?

I'm in London Ste, I could pick them up and bring to mcr next week if they can be taken to Mitch tonight or Thursday.

^they are good. My brother runs one and its been no hassle for over 4 years.

Does anyone know if the Pompetamine forks are okay to be drilled?

http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/FOOOP12/on_one_pompetamine_2012_fork

It would be for adding a rack rather than a brake

Aren't the pet fork already drilled? If not I'm sure it'd be ok as they are basically the same with different brake mounts.

I'm in. Not too sure how early I can make it though. I reckon I can do 1830 hrs maybe.

On a train, on my way.

Is there any polo happening tonight? If so I'm in.

I had the chainring and cranks seperate climbing a hill on mine. Thought I'd hit neutral til I saw the chain wasn't turning. They were quite old though.

On one reckon the pomp is good for 32 mm tyres or 35 slicks and the kaff is good for 35mm cross tyres. With a true rim and an extra link in the chain,I've put 35mm cx comps in my pomp and its fine, so maybe the kaff has more tyre clearance and you'd get away with something fatter.

^ the guys at east coast bicycles in hull had some in stock a while ago. Not sure if they've sold out yet.

Fitting 26" wheels f&r to a pomp will lower the bb 30mm, if you use the same width tyres, causing loads more pedal strike. It'll certainly make toe overlap significantly better but wont change things like head tube angle or tt length which is what I presume your after. Popping a 26 in the front only will sharpen the ht angle, reduce toe overlap the same as above and slightly lengthen tt. And will only lower the bb by about 12mm. I'd say try Louis med pompino before wasting money on wheels or new frame

^^ I do!! 28mm tyres and cleats set as far forward as my shoes allow. Massive Q factor with 128mm octalink bb and 175 deore hollowtech cranks. Slightly more chance of pedal strike when pedalling on turns but it aint happened yet. Toe overlap is so slight I don't notice it.

On the geared wheel for pompino front, The SRAM s7 is 125 spaced.I Used to force one into a pomp frame. You'd have to make a guard to protect the click box thingy as It stick out about 30mm and is a bit flimsy.

Is it cheaper/better to run spds or time attacks then? I've only ever ran spds cos that's what i inherited on a 2nd hand bike and stuck with it!

No problem. Its happened on bikes that havent been messed with, on loads of polo pomps but they get much more abuse than normal (hopping, endo spins,heavy accelerating, crashes etc). I'm quite light and use the geared pomp for commuting and light cx style riding with no problems. It's well do able, but you're more likely to snap your stays if its been coldset. As I said before, coldset your frame at your own risk. Mines been ok!

I've had one coldset by a frame builder to 135 to fit an alifine 11 speed hub. It works fine but do it at your own risk. A lot of frames have snapped at the crimps on the chain stays. You might be better of selling the frame and getting a pompetamine or kaffenback to replace it.

Farnells will probably have everything you need. You'll need to set up an account, but that's easy enough.

I'd not get away with a front mudguard on my sm pomp.my Cleats are as far forward as you can get them, ive a wide bb and 175 mtb cranks. If you're not running fixed its not really an issue.

Thanks

Is this on podium?
