I'm sure you'll need more than one ride to form a full opinion, but whats your initial thoughts of the 1x gearing?
Maybe a little under geared, but more change of front ring rather than going to 2x. I had similar on the Slate but the Etap is definitely an improvement.
Big issue is how/ when do I clean it given how cold it is now!!
Ride it in the rain, that's what I do
Get straight in the shower with it and your kit on.
RIP your drains tho.
What combination of front ring and rear cassette are you running? I pretty quickly increased my front ring on my 1X set up.
