Well, as an update.
I replaced the speedo drive with the new plastic/ceramic hybrid jobbie, and replaced the front wheel bearings as well. Took it for a spin and the road noise was still there, now accompanied by a high pitch squealing. I replaced the bearings again in case I had a bad one, and greased the inside of the new speedo drive.
The road noise is still as it was, but the squeal has gone.
So no further forward. It is a bit distracting, but as I've replaced the bits that could cause a catastrophe, I guess I'll live with it for now.
Might try a spin without the fork guards in case they are making the noise, or try a different wheel/tyre combo.
