And enjoying the trials riding (also tubeless lol). Went for a good fun trials busy bee session yesterday and feeling the effects of lockdown today

Yep! Mud is hard on the gear.. But so worth it too!
Chains and sprockets cop a flogging. Disks and pads both cop it too. Any that works its way into seals can cause weeps and leaks.
As a bonus, the air filter stays relatively clean though
