Sounds like my Camper is the one to take with me on the trails then...
(I suppose anything with a suitable cover/scabbard will look suitably like a tool rather than an offensive weapon, though I like the idea of a grass hook sticking out of the saddlebag for that pint-sized grim reaper effect - am guessing it would greatly cut down on close passes...)
-
What's people's favourite tool for clearing Sustrans paths and the like (so brambles, nettles, lianas, tropical forest, etc.)? Bonus points if it won't immediately attract the Old Bill when strapped on top of a Carradice (on which point I'm guessing machetes are suboptimal).

AIUI rotor rattle is pretty standard across Miyota movements, but my Everest only does it occasionally (or if I really try to spin it). I don't mind it - it's infrequent enough that I can just enjoy it as a quirk.

The perforated Ooni one is meant to be great, but I've found my combo of bamboo peel for topping and getting in the oven and aluminium for turning and removal works well - you want something that's thin enough to easily get under the base.

Not necessarily; mine didn't. I got one on eBay that arrived within a couple of days - this one looks similar, and supposedly has a London-based seller, so @sodha might be able to message them and ask? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pizza-Paddle-Peel-Bakers-BBQ-Oven-Restaurant-Wooden-Handle-66CM-kitchen-UK/133451367462
Otherwise give Nisbets a ring? -
What are people doing to the cranks - just cross-threading/installing the wrong pedal?
-
Yeah, but the Audax Mk 4 is disk only, isn't it, and pretty much all of their models now default to disk don't they? Given how vociferous he was about their effect on front forks, that's quite the turnaround.
-
Yet another sign that the end times are upon us - Robin Thorn making a disk-braked audax bike...
(Would totally, obviously.)

Beautiful!

Noodly as all feck though? A FOAF's a mechanic who was presented with a Ti frame to build up; as the client then made weird choices like deep carbon rims with Marathon+ (!), it ended up being >9kg and quite unpleasant to ride.
