Should I still be entitled to my 40kg? (after SIN doing UA F SIN-HKG, then TG F HKG-BKK-CDG. On the TG site it states "4.In case of travel on combined services for through journeys where the passenger travels partly on F-class and partly on C-, U-, or Y-class, the free baggage allowance applicable on each sector of the trip shall be that applicable to the class of service for which the fare is paid. In case the passenger who has paid F-class fare travels on C-, U- or Y-class, the free baggage allowance shall be that applicable to F-class." however it doesn't mention multiple carriers.

I want to take my golf clubs back to London with me and if I'm stuck with just 30kg on SQ then it's going to be a problem...!
Depends on what the ticketed baggage allowance is. Pulling it up on SV is the best bet, if it is registered (only sometimes works).
