Dare I say, sounds like old-school MTB/Cross V-brakes would've been easier
^ Me earlier. I normally cuss the life out of rims to trigger certain folk, but being objective about it, I truly believe what I said above lol.
@giofox yeah that's what's so surprising. I've been on some (but not many) long, wet and muddy gravel rides but this sounds way too quick. I normally commit the sin of running fenders in such filth though, which I imagine offers a small amount of splash back protection.
Sounds like rim brakes could be the answer
