Ah yes rusty lol can you tell I’m in love lol. Went out yesterday for a 5 hour jaunt through the floods around reading and out towards Newbury and back through bucklebury. Mixed surfaces from gravel, deep sloppy mud 2 foot deep flood waters, canal paths and road. It was very good, fast and absorbed bumps well. Only issue was the dt swiss remote lockout dial sticks when full of crud and the remote lever doesn’t release it after lockout. You have to move it by hand. Might just need a little adjustment.
The drivetrain ran smoothly even when full of sloppy mud. Kudos to xtr.
All in all I was very impressed.
