There are some good observations in the replies, thank you. I'm always keen to learn from the opinions & ideas of others.
The brake pads are "Salmon Kool Stop", made in the USA and bought from a fleabay seller, £10 per pair. I put them on because the original blocks were picking up tiny particles of aluminium and scoring grooves in my rims.
The cassette does indeed need a clean. I sometimes use lengths of garden twine to get deep down between each gear cog. It does take a bit longer, but cleans them up nicely.
I don't know what Sunny means about "pipes", and paint?
Good observation about crossed spokes just on one side. ( makes it a tad harder to get a cloth right in there when cleaning too).
I've bought another light and I agree, a matching pair would look better.
P clips would make a neater job. The Cateye mounts seem to be made from thicker plastic which is good.
