I live in zone 2 and have a 12 speed Brompton. This may upset the dataset.My avatar is me doing an actual cyclocross race on mine*. With the mudguards on. And not for the first time. In sticky conditions the chain tensioner clogs long before the mudguards do.(* on a motocross course in zone
What tyres did you use? I'm wondering how race control would be about me turning up with my winter spiked tyres... they at least have some tread to them...
3-speed's fine if you're not venturing beyond about *handwaves* Zone 3.*ponders*I've just realised the TFL zones in fact denote the optimum number of gears you need on a bike in that area. That's genius. It also explains why Bromptons come with up to 6 gears as standard (with those living in the further reaches of the Metropolitan line requiring a visit to Kinetics), and why areas where serious gearing is needed (Wales, Yorkshire, The Alps) don't recognise your Oyster card.
