5600 are quite a solid choice as they are silver
...ish. I'd get properly silver Tektro calipers for aesthetics, and the mid-range ones work just as well as Shimano

Tube is for 47c max, tyre is 50c. Inflated to 2.5 bars, it won't explode?
Overstretching tubes won't explode them instantly until you get to a much bigger stretch than that, but they can puncture more easily and deflate quicker when punctured.

is it silly to try boiling water so as to not harm the paint?
It's an appropriate temperature, but you might need quite a bit to get the whole area up to the desired ~70°C
-
Have you heated it? They come with thread lock pre-applied, so if it was put in dry from new you might get a result from softening the glue.
On the other hand, if it was put into a steel frame dry and has got wet at any point in its life, it might be properly seized and you're going to have to cut it out.

Maybe there needs to be a tape in there?
Yes, there needs to be a cassette body to push the record protect plunger

I can't seemed to be able to.
You can, via the "Edit conversation" button

no-one has ever asked
CTT are only concerned with whether the club is affiliated. It's up to clubs to monitor whether people who are not members are falsely claiming to be members. Since you're a member of LFGSS CC if you say you are, that doesn't arise in our case.

For a Colnago, it's pretty inoffensive

we aren’t able to be offensive about nazi’s now?
You can be as offensive as you like to Nazis, but don't let's be beastly to the Germans

play without dolby
If you play back Dolby recordings without Dolby, you'll be listening to a compressed version. Any hiss hasn't been "added" by Dolby, it's noise in the original source which has been increased in amplitude along with any low amplitude signal in the same frequency bands.
-
Am I right
No.
The hiss which Dolby noise reduction mitigates is natural noise inherent in the physical recording medium, due to the heterogeneous nature of the magnetic domains. Dolby compresses the input to move low amplitude signals further above this noise floor, then expands the output to reverse the effect.
The high frequency signal deliberately added to make tape recording work with any kind of acceptable dynamic range is bias. It can be removed from the output with a simple low pass filter, but as it's both inaudible and beyond the reproduction range of most speakers, it doesn't have to be.

It's a serf and terf combo🙂

And then the smoke started piling out of it...

I thought brake springs needed to be heat tempered? Think thats beyond my kitchen counter tooling.
Getting the right steel to spring temper isn't beyond the reach of home gamers. There's plenty of advice in the gun-smithing world, those people are constantly making replacement springs for things which haven't been manufactured for over a century.

nothing to do with their politics and everything to do with being cunty
There's a more positive way to say that; P.J. O'Rourke, Jeremy Hardy, Benjamin Zephaniah and their like start from the point of loving other people. Because of this, it's hard to hate them whether you concur with their conclusions or not. It's much easier to dislike the cluster of narcissists, misanthropes and nihilists who dominate current politics and political commentary, even when you agree with them.

despite being about as funny as child cancer, the BBC have to have him on every single radio and panel show
As BBC DEI hires go, he is a very long way from having the lowest talent:pervasiveness score

it hurts to see aesthetics like that
Where were you a decade ago when all the top sprinters were mixing cutting edge carbon frames with entry level stems?
-
If they were all breaking, we'd have found out by now.
The ones which broke and gave Crack'n'fail their nickname aren't around any more. While the design is obviously dodgy, any which have survived are probably free of what was most likely a sporadic rather than systemic issue. Just from looking at them, they seem like a design which would be very vulnerable to stress raisers at weld imperfections.
-
Nothing is certain anymore
What is certain is that stem solutions to my particular problem were either £15 china carbon or FSA NS Drop at four or five times the price. My general reluctance to recommend carbon stems is that they are usually heavier and more expensive than forged aluminium alloy equivalents.
Also, do as I say, not as I do. I might still be wrong about the viability of this stem.

Gross
It's neither that nor klein, but some intermediate size offering the worst of both worlds.

Doesn't come across in pix how skinny the chinesium bars look in real life. 35.4cm outside to outside for CTT legality

If it's a conventional (EC34) headset, you're fucked. 205-170=35, minimum EC34 headset is going to be about 24mm e.g. Cane Creek 10 or 40 with my specific low cover, leaving 11mm for the stem
