Can't comment directly on whether being slower makes a difference, as I (like you) would normally cycle at a reasonably quick pace. However, it sort of makes sense, as (I'm guessing and generalising here) slow = cautionary = novice = uncertain (etc), and thus I can quite see that drivers would see s...

Sounds like bottom bracket to me, had the same symptoms on a couple of bikes. Could never feel any roughness in the cranks, but once I took the bearings out they were clearly rough and needed replacing.

On a related, but slightly seperate note, the spring is marked R and L, so has an orientaion. Now, I don't doubt that it should be the right way round, but try as I might I can see no difference between the two ways round - the spring is completely symmetrical so far as I can tell and so are the pad...

So,

I've got deore M6000 calipers. Disco only seems to M525 and M555. Is this a case of shimano numbering, and the M525 is the right one, or do they just not stock my pads?

Confused

Ahh, my bad !

Have you got a link, as googling 'disc brakes' finds rather a lot

By 'modern compact' I assume you mean external BB (hollowtech). Any space for shims on the drive side crank axle? Will push the front cogs out a touch and improve the chainline.

Mine used to do the same, despite being all parts supplied as new with the bike. I ended up making a tiny shim from an old Coke can, so slip under the clamp / collar as it seemed (despite being fully tight) that the collar was just that tiny bit too big. I also have to tighten way beyond what I thin...

Sounds like you had a great time. Shame that (maybe) in 10 days time wild camping will be a criminal offence if the Govt gets its' way over trespass laws.

The technology is already there, we were test driving a car a few weeks back and it knew what the speed limit was for what ever road I was on, it was capable of controlling my speed on adaptive cruise so surely it would be simple enough to limit your speed to whatever the limit was on that road. Ju...

Had a similar experience a couple of years back with an open top sports car 'impressing' the G/F / Wife / Mistress.~ Stopped and asked what the issues was, as there was nowhere for me to pull over safely. G/F must have had a word, as he stopped and didn't follow me again, even though was in 'such a ...

New to discs myself, but this link suggests minimum pad thickness of 0.9mm

https://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/disc-brake-pad-removal-installation

and this one suggests 0.5mm
