Took the CAADX to Swinley again, this time armed with Michelin Mud 2s and the CXP33 / X9 wheelset Arup made up for me.
Addition of SwissStop Greens and some brake tuning really improved the ride and I was able to attack the same technical trails as the guys on hardtails.
Also really impressed by the 105 road group's ability to shift perfectly, under full power, even in fairly muddy conditions too. Fun times.
Just need to sign up for some more Cross races now :)
