Any question answered...

I've seen people mix them up when there is a split crown race.

It's no good, time to replace with a @Dammit Talbot

Do they do headsets?

I love the one lately posted in porn

I'm sure I have already but I will try again. Thanks

Bin parts 5 and 6, fit Slam-that-Stem cover (or some random conical cover from the parts bin) on top of part 4, fit brake hanger to fork crown where it belongs. That FSA thing with the collet to keep the brake hanger locked onto the steerer looks like a horrible design, even if you want to stick with the hanger at the wrong end of the steerer you should replace it with one which uses a stem-clamp style bolt to clamp the hanger to the steerer.

Thanks. I know you mentioned before I should have the hanger at the fork crown, but I wanted these forks undrilled (mudguard mount is to the underside of the crown) so this is not an option unfortunately for the moment (will be if I decide one day to make the bike lighter with carbon forks, but that's another story)... If like you suggest my struggle comes from a bad design, I now have no remorse butchering the conical compressing ring by removing a couple of mm where it's in the way, this way I know the headset will be properly adjusted... if it does not last I'll chose a better headset next time...
It's more a comfy tourer commuter type of bike so slamming the stem isn't required... for the moment...

The danger with chopping the collet is that the hanger will then be a loose fit on the steerer. Every time you apply the brake, the hanger will tilt the conical headset cover and compress the bearings. That's why you should bin it and get one like this

Are there any nuts and bolts that I should def not replace with Ti ones on my bike... I ask not from a weight weenie perspective but from an oxidization one.

I have tried coating parts with a film of grease and/or oil but one its messy and two it has not worked. Daily humidity ranges from 65% to 96% with an average of about 80%. Bike stored in a PVC shed with decent ventilation. Any ideas welcome.

Could always use stainless steel if you're not bothered about weight.

Grease serves two roles: preventing latent torque within the bolt and excluding electrolytes for galvanic corrosion.

Grease breaks down over time.

If it needs to move, grease it. If it doesn't, threadlock.

Stainless steel has good corrosion resistance, but it actually makes the corrosion of the aluminium parts into which it is screwed worse. You end up with immaculate screws holding knackered stems together :-)

Can't think of any off the top of my head. Disc rotor screws can be problematic, not because the shank can't handle the shear load but because the tiny driver on button heads tends to wreck the socket head. Torx Ti are hard to find.

i have 135 spaced single speed disc hub like this:

Can i put a screw on multispeed freewheel if i want more gears, or will it only fit a single?

^no room there unless you respace the axle.
white industries did a 2-speed that would work.

Stainless stems are the obvious answer.

I would used one of these, but that means whole new headset. Current hanger is integrated to upper bearing cover (which what I found appealing at first, but obviously I regret that now...)
Argh this is annoying!

Before I place an order does anyone have Surly rear cable hanger in London that I can collect?

Brixton Cycles?

anyone able to suggest a good online butcher for gammon/ham and goose?

just google it u prick

Boiler problem finally solved, drained cylinder

in total about 20kgs taken out of the cylinder, the bottom element looked like a coral reef rather than a heating element

not sure you get the point of this thread, it can be reassuring when someone endorses a service

If not sure just google it first.

@marcom is right, Google is fucking excellent.

Spinergy Rev-X wheels - if fitted with a Shimano freehub body a) is it a simple swap to a Campag freehub body, and b) are they available from anywhere other than eBay if so?

Bloody hell it's good. Thank god someone brought it to my attention. Never again shall I seek advice from people.
