I have some kenisis K2's you can have for next to nothing. Not straight blade, but hey. 23cm-ish steerer. I'm after some steel forks I can fit fatter tires into...
That would be awesome, will pm you tomorrow if that's ok?
That would be a terrible idea. Not that there are many Ti steerers out there, but the combined cost of cutting the thread (normal tools won't do) and the value destruction of doing so would cover the cost new carbon fork with steel steerer.
(: yes sir.

Gna ask again, best bet for JIS taper cranks is going to be some old DA road cranks with a decent 1/8 chainring ? have no choice but JIS
Either older Shimano (DA≤7400, Ultegra≤6400, 105≤1056) or modern low end like FC-2200. which is nice and classic looking or the ugly but probably easier to source FC-2300
I'm using the FC-2200 with a Stonglight track ring on my Fort, chainline is good with a 103mm JIS Token BB, but bear in mind that running such a short axle will only work with a cartridge BB because the crank boss ends up slightly inboard of the outer face of the BB, i.e. it would interfere with the fixed cup on a conventional BB.
Going beyond Shimano, Miche work fine on a 107mm JIS BB, as do Stronglight 2000 and the ProLite Sardinia

Where is it safer to leave my not-hugely-flashy-but-quite-nice-bike for the whole day - near tower gateway or bank? And where? I have only 1 lock (NY fag). I need to get way out east asap and dlr wins over my feeble legs...
Bit late to this, but incase you need it again or someone else needs this. Minories car park, one entrance to which is basically under tower gateway, has bike stands in front of the security office (which has massive glass windows, so basically the security guards can't help but see anyone parking or being shifty).

@ewanmac: do you have spoke key with you? to get you home just get roughly true side-to-side to stop it rubbing on the wheel, sort the finer details later.
imagine looking from the nipple end of the spokes towards the hub, turn clockwise to tighten, anti-clockwise to loosen. find the patch that rubs worst, loosen the spoke closest to that point, on the side it leans towards. tighten the closest spoke on the side it leans away from. don't go crazy, maybe do half turns to those, then quarter turns on the next ones further out. check repeat.

Substation. It splits and regulates the power in the local area.
Is there any (sane) reason why I wouldn't want to buy a property next door to one.I'm thinking noise and / or access.
Or interference with wifi?
-
Wi-fi, I'd say no. The wi-fi will use microwave frequency signals to transmit data, and any radiation from the substation will be lower in the EM spectrum*. So it should have no effect. Have a read of this though.
Noise wise, they emit a low humming sound, but standard insulation and double glazing should stop that.
*(Not in anyway an expert)

Can't be bothered to find it now, but there's a good site dedicated to power distribution failures which explains the long train of technical and human errors which led to this. -

the 2200 looks nice if it was in silver, and i cant seem to find any anyway, 2300 is too ugly for purpose ;D
Might just stick with the Shimano 600 cranks I've got until i can afford a phil wood french BB to get something nicer
cheers mdcc
