  • Says 120tpi. That's the same as psi, right?

  • Mostly

  • I expect it's just a forrin tyre.

  • Not tubeless, and I am not THAT much of a newbie!

    You bunch of bums.

  • Outenger question.

    Really really really really really really really etc etc etc tempted by this...... but not in London.

    If i get train into Stratford international, can i get train up to chingford with bike ? this appears to be overland, unsure of train rules with complete bike around London zones. (i know central tube is a No )
    Any pointers ? would be highspeed from Ashford International to Stratford, that's ok, it's from Stratford outwards i am unsure about.

  • Unsure about the train from Stratford International, but the train from Hackney Downs or Clapton to Chingford is fine for bikes all day on a Sunday. Either one of those would be a 3 mile ride from Stratford.

    Through Victoria Park for Hackney, or along the River Lee for most of the way to Clapton.

  • Bit slippery up there today, after yesterday's rain.

  • The sarnies are good though!

  • Ta BigBare,

    Will look into things......
    Looks like i can go Central Line from Stratford up to BuckHurst Hill and chop across on road to Chingford.

    Might have to strip bike down to carry on...... but i assume (dangerous i know) that being so far out this is oveland not Tube. And would be ok on a day ticket with all zones....

    Having been struck off today as not fit for work i have Friday to look into tings, Saturday to swap tyres and decide if i need a bottle cage or hipflask cage. (Doctors orders, go and wind down and switch off, so your therapy :) )

  • Last time I checked, I think overground Central Line was fine for bikes, at off-peak & weekends.

  • I think you can only take bikes from Leyton outwards, which isn't much of a distance from Stratford, but might as well head to Clapton, or overland from Stratford to Hackney Central, then Hackney Downs (about a 1 minute cycle away) to Chingford.

  • Not something I see every day...

  • I have been seeing more Deer up there recently. The big ones, as well as the Muntjac.

  • Train to Stratford intl then either ride up river lea or go Stratford-hackney then hackney-Chingford on the overground.

  • Is there a Caff (said in cockney accent) near Chingford sation ?
    Looks like i can Stratford Intl up to Buckhurst on central line :)

    Now do i Monk it, with disc brakes...... or SteamrollerDBAD it.
    I think i may have a stab at this one, as it's a Sunday and perfect times for me for a long travel in.

  • Station road has cafes, Greggs, chickens, pie mash etc

  • Stress relief central :)

  • Basically zero flat whites though

  • Got a 22t frewheel somewhere for my last aborted attempt at Badgering, 42x18/22 on 35mm cx tyres FTW :)

  • Now do i Monk it, with disc brakes...... or SteamrollerDBAD it.

    You need some decent mud clearance there right now.

  • The greengrocer does good coffee, including flat whites.

  • Have you changed your number pete? I was up there about 10 mins after you instagrammed, but got no reply from the text....

  • Have you changed your number

    Only about a year ago :-)
