The previous picture was of 105 Victoria Street, the site of House of Fraser, taken from next to The Albert pub

Old, as above. New: an anti-tag, in that I’m tagging something that’s now missing. Always interesting to see adjacent buildings from a new perspective. It was someone’s “house”.

Kallax is more rigid than you think, and there’s so little space around the bike you can’t actually bash it that hard. Finding a nice holding point to insert the bike reasonably level is hard, I’m wondering about using one of the dividers to bodge a “drawer” so I can place it on that then slide it in. Plenty deep enough. Room for a helmet too. I’ve got an extended seat post and a fairly set back saddle for reference

Broken handlebar catch: Nothing at Frankenbike or Balfe’s, though both could order it. Condor to the rescue just now. Thanks for the suggestions

I picked the old tag up 15 minutes ago so waiting for the jury to rule 😀

Morning all. I shattered the plastic handlebar catch this morning in the -2 C weather when refolding the bike. Does anyone know somewhere near Stratford that carries it? Currently the nearest I can find is Condor or Balfe’s, and I can’t make the diversion easily. Thanks!

New: I desperately wanted to follow up from a recent tag with this

Old: the Happy House, City Point

It’s probably best not to get in a flap about it…

(Stop sniggering at the back)

The game lives on!

Sorry, to be clear, what tubes (model numbers or sizes) do people recommend? Only tube I could find quickly was a 16” Halfords own brand, it was for a 305mm rim so nearly impossible to get the tyre on without pinching it. The LBS had “Brompton size” tubes in and, while I’m happy to buy local, £10 a tube is pretty steep

Do people have a recommended inner tube? I have a slow puncture to get fixed at the same time I change tires. Thanks!

New: easy to get it moving, but a bit of a grim location. If you can’t manage the steps a photo from the bridge adjacent should get it. Surprised it wasn’t tagged already but nothing came up on the search.

Thanks Will, I even thought about replying or @ing you… I had read the top of that thread but not followed every link.

Old: Bromley Hall School, Bromley Hall Road/ Leven Road. No cat for me

Still not a clue but will be cycling between Greenwich and Stratford tomorrow, I’m hoping with another clue I’m in the right area?

I’ve got the cream foldable Conti Urbans on my bike - well, I’ve got one as a misaligned brake pad rubbed through the other - so I need a new one.

I’m wondering if anyone has ridden the folding and wired versions back to back? I’m not fussed about weight or the cream sidewalls, more grip and comfort, so is there a difference?

Thanks

New: clue to follow

Old: rules followed. What happens on LFGSS, stays searchable on the internet for longer than you think. Chatham House, St James Square

Tagzumped 😒

Must have been minutes in it. Had a sloppy part-flat tyre too from Catford, could have done without the extra mileage

I’ve got the opposite problem - Brooks classic leather has metal slots, they’re wearing through the straps on my saddlebag. Good luck either way!

I recognised the view angle from the original photo but just couldn’t place the viewpoint. Been to the obvious point dozens of time, but never this one.

I was going to try in the morning too. I sense a tagzumping!

New: if the (pictured) saddle manufacturer’s farm (E-I-E-I-O) had London offices they would be in this building. Yes - tenuous, but the building looked interesting so I went with it

Old: the Worshipful Company of Saddlers, Gutter Lane

I did a search on the thread for SCR and didn’t find it, sorry. Did it have a face back then?!

Are they legit?
