Any question answered...

Who is the best bank to set up a savings account with, and what kind of account? savings need to be accessible in the not too distant future, should be adding between £300 - £1000 each month...

minds of LFGSS, what are my options?

What about induction, aren't they the most energy efficient?

Induction is the shizzle.

Unless you have to buy new pans to work on it, which makes it v expensive.

I've had induction before. Yes it is great to cook on but I still much prefer gas for ease of control and also the high temps that are achievable for searing things etc.

villa-ru is correct....you can't use any old pan on an induction hob.

Is Vanilla coming back? Looking at LFGSS on a laptop, the posts appear to be a darker shade of pale.

Does anyone know of a secure locking spot in Brixton? I am going to a gig at the academy but I don't know the area at all. Any advice gratefully received.

Headset spacers.

I've just bought some 1" ones for 1" forks. However, they're a bit loose. I'm sure all my 1 1/8" ones have always been snug.

Any risks?

Also the bottom of the headtube where the bottom headset cup sits seems to be a bit big, so the bottom cup moves around a bit. Is there anything I can do about this?

Having ridden toeclips for the last 10 years or so, if I make the move to SPDs am I still going to 'forget to unclip' and stack it at the lights?

No, that never ever happens.

Not really, without a lot of expense. Chris King do oversized cups for head tubes which are worn or over-reamed, but I've not seen any from any other maker.

No, that never ever happens.

So now not only does my beater have carbon forks, it might end up with a CK headset.

Beater fail.

There's no answer to that.

Are you sure?

Reamed and shimmed back to correct size?

Reamed and shimmed back to correct size?

Not enough material; if you take enough off the head tube to fit a shim thick enough to withstand the press fit, the tube is then too thin-walled to be safe.

Thanks, but after half an hour reading that I'm more confused, seems a regular saver is what I want, but most seem capped at £250 max deposit a month, whereas I need the flexibility to deposit much more than that on months when I do well out of work...
