Do you mean while freewheeling or in certain combinations of gears ?

Freewheeling

It's like being chased by an angry swarm of wasps!

That's a standard planet x freehub noise. It basically means everyone in the group can hear when you're not working

I didn't tackle this hill, only went to look at it. Looks nice

Looking good there! Initial impressions?

I wouldn't worry, 34/32 will climb a wall, slowly in my case but still

First thing I noticed was how light it felt, at close to 10kg I was expecting something a bit more agricultural. My carbon machine isn't far off 7kg!

Fat tyres at 80psi felt like riding an airbed - shifting/brake levers are superb (shimano STI user for many years) but I could do with adjusting them out a bit. Found myself trying to change down and pulled the brake on lol! doubletap vs STI problems

Worth every £1 of it's £999 pricetag
