Cassettes, I have poured dawn dish soap onto a brush and then aggressively brushed the cassette with it.
Any reason for the specific brand? (Which may not be available where we tour). You carry a small bottle with you? I'm using WD40. Considering acetone as it may be the most powerful solvent available such that a few ounces/ml would do for a long time.

Great! We were able to navigate with a smartphone with minimal use of a power bank. The forumslader + Shimano dynohub were usually more than enough to keep the phone fully charged, except on very hilly terrain, when you spend most of your time crawling uphill at +/- 8kmh (and just a fraction at 40+), or when we were touring a large city. (Thanks again for suggesting dynohubs - lots of overcast/rainy days, solar panels would not have worked.)
Will post more. In a few days.
