Was worried the gear would be too spinny, but in seventy five miles, seven hours & seven & a half thousand feet of climbing, it seldom was a problem. Dropped a chain twice though due to so much mud, might take a link out of the chain to increase the tension, or swap the chainring to the inner ring position.
Also a revelation was the much wider rims on the new wheels. Previous rims had 17mm internal, these are 24mm internal & felt a great deal better bombing down gravel descents, much more confidence inspiring at lower pressures.
