I want to buy a small fire extinguisher for my home as a safety precaution but it's a bit overwhelming. Does anyone advise a retailer or brand?

advise a retailer or brand?
Kidde are a reputable brand, FFX is a reputable shop e.g.

Motorola TLKR T92 H20
I'd like to get a set (waterproof/torch etc etc) but is there any way to disable the emergency alarm?
Anyone have one and can check in the menu if there's a way to disable?
Alternatively thinking I could lift the rubber cap off the button and either remove the switch below it or stick something in the way that will catch and block it when someone tries to depress it.
(Don't want my 5yo/his cousins to weaponise it).

Standard brake reply is Tektro R559 unless you want to do a little filing on Shimano R451 (47-57mm). SJS has Arch ? Calipers that max out at 60mm.

Best budget 1/8 chain for road use?
Wippermann 1z1 or KMC B1RB are the optimum, but if you want to go even cheaper this Decathlon branded chain is a KMC S1RB in a different box and is fine too.
Best budget bartape?
Just search your favourite retail platform for whatever is at the biggest discount, and try not to be fussy about the colour if you're going for the absolute minimum outlay. Again, Decathlon might be your friend with their house brand EVA tape for a fiver

I looking to replace bearings in headset, which are described as "FSA, Campy style, integrated cartridge bearings" for a 1 1/8 straight steerer.
Anyone recommend which ones to go for? (Upper and lower).
Can I just replace it with any 1 1/8 integrated headset?
-
Campy style
I can't remember the exact measurements off the top of my head,but these are one of the more common sizes and are in most BMXs.

These ones, or there's enough extra info on there to buy from somewhere else.
-
Campy style
Leaving aside the revolting Americanism, Campagnolo IS headsets are 41.8mm OD bearings with 45° chamfer angle both inside and outside. They're common and easily available, but not as common as 41.0/36°/45° so make sure you get the right ones.
-
So 41.8/45°/45°
Thanks all.
-
And @nef, either adapters or drilling out works fine
-
the revolting Americanism
Is Italy now the 51st state? https://www.campagnolo.com/IT/it/Shops/campy_code
Either way it's handy for baiting "traditionalists" on TTF and Retrobike, who conflate "camp" and a little bum-fun.
-
drilling out works fine
If you have a press (don't ask me how I know etc).

Well ymmv, but I converted two forks and no puppies were killed.

Tiny market not worth investing in
Modern crank/BB performance differential (if it even exists) has next to no effect on results compared with all the gains to be had elsewhere
Elite teams (GB/France/Germany/Aus) have their own crankset programmes, some proprietary to their frames, so mainstream component manufacturers have no opportunity to "race on Sunday, sell on Monday"
