Its an all new drivetrain. Initially I hadn't changed the big ring and blamed that, then i replaced the big ring and it still does it.
Once a ride (if that) isn't very much tbh, but i didn't buy XTR for it to perform worse than deore…
Its more likely to skip if i change pressure on the pedals. Just pushing really hard doesn't cause it. Makes me thing the pawls are just a little bit sluggish.
I gave the bike a really good clean a while ago, and although i didn't consciously aim any degreaser/water at the freehub area, i'm wondering if some got past the seals anyway, pretty sure it didn't do it before I cleaned the bike.
Annoying vague problem all round really!
