Measure two holes nearest to eachother on the chainring, and then reference this chart.

If you had wheels with joytech hubs (sealed) or quando (unsealed and cleaned/repacked) which would you run? I know they both suck but these are desperate times lmao

The mounting bolt on the dia compe brake can barely catch any thread without that ninja star looking washer on my Kagero fork. The brake pads are a few mm from touching it, an I alright without it?

Joytech hubs are Novatec hubs, which are great. I currently have two wheelsets built with Novatecs so that should answer your question.

Scrod, you were in my dream last night. It was pretty strange, you jumped through a crumbling building and started driving a cop car around. That's all I can remember.

Aircraft stripper should remove either paint or powdercoating. Remove the tire, rim tape and do a test on the inside of the rim to be sure.

scrod...creaking from the handlebar (sleeved bar and quill stem).
will lightly greasing the sleeve and the stem bolt help? wasn't sure if a good idea to grease where the sleeve and stem make contact.

A little grease won't hurt. Sometimes even a few drops of Tri-Flow or other light oil every now and again while it's still clamped will do the trick.

Instead of flying a remote control helicopter, you have to steal and ride fixed gear bikes.
