No problems so far.
I used to be able to sit down & push a 39x21 up HolmeMoss & Norwood Edge (Otley area) without a problem, & on a good day 'big-ring' it up most of the way up HolmeMoss (West Yorkshire side)

I could do that with the cross bike, or my Pace (Magura hydraulic brakes) on a damp surface

It needed a good scrub to clear all the dust, spiders-webs & general filth off it.

I'm trying to decide what to do about one aspect of this bike.
Do I replace the Scott 'Drop-Ins' with normal bars, or retain them?
They're extremely comfortable on a rough road, but you're a long way from the brake levers.
Plus I seem to remember hearing a few untoward creaks from that area the last time I rode it any distance.
I might replace them just to be safe, having checked out the maximum diameter that the Ritchey stem will allow
