Thanks.
The cateye cube light does not interfere with either the parking or the rack. It is recomended by mezzo due to this reason. Properly works well on a Brompton also.

The clip needs removing due to the fact that dual drive needs a drailyer mounting and a IHG changer. There simply is not enough space for the clip also. It should not provide difficulties for other systems.

Mine is laced with 36 spokes. Maybe I should have tried seeing if a LBS would miss every 3rd to provide a 24.You could also go for 18 spokes, but I wouldn't. I have very light gauge spokes in mine.

I agree the bike is not as good for wheeling, however I have got used to tilting the bike if I chose to wheel it. Its not completely satisatory, but I rarely use this function anyway. If you do and we can not find a solution you maybe best in going for a premium quality IHG with more spoke choices. Thats the beauty of the Mezzo for upgrading.
