Hit the Surry hills yesterday on my newly built Pomp, +50km and with 1500m climbing. Super fun and wet but a little on the chilly side.
One thing I learnt, DON'T use Tektro mini-V stock pads. They are like butter. Went through a pair in the day, yes there was a reasonable about of braking in shitty conditions but I was by no means constantly on the brakes.
